This trial is testing whether training on a special treadmill with virtual reality can help people with multiple sclerosis improve their walking and balance. Researchers will have you wear smart socks that track how you walk every day, both before and after the training, to see if improvements you make in the clinic carry over to real life at home and in your community.
Walking and balance problems are common in multiple sclerosis and can lead to falls and make everyday activities harder. While physical therapy in a clinic can help, doctors don't always know if those improvements stick with you when you go home, so this study is testing a new approach to track real-world walking and see if specialized training makes a lasting difference.

You will visit Shepherd Center twice a week for 6 weeks to do treadmill training with virtual reality. During your visits, you'll also complete walking and balance tests and answer questions about your mobility, fatigue, and quality of life. Throughout the study—before, during, and after the training—you'll wear special smart socks that track how you walk during your normal daily activities. After the training ends, you'll keep wearing the socks for several more weeks so researchers can see if your improvements last.
