Our research is focused on neural plasticity within sensorimotor spinal and cortical circuits that mediate human motor control.

Multiple Sclerosis Balance Study

Are you interested in participating in a Balance study? 

This study is recruiting males and females living with MS who have difficulties with balance or walking. Individuals who participate will take part in one of two different types of balance exercise intervention for six weeks, attending three exercise sessions every week. One exercise intervention resembles traditional balance training methods currently used by most rehabilitation professionals. The other intervention is a novel approach developed at McMaster. Both types of intervention may result in improvements in balance and walking. Researchers evaluate balance and walking before and immediately after completing six weeks of training, and then again three months after the last exercise session.

 

This study has been reviewed by the Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics Board (REB #17723)
