Multiple Sclerosis G35
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: MS patients:
Gait variability in MS patients with a range of disability levels is to be examined by means of wireless inertial sensors, with measurement occasions separated by an interval of
Flachenecker et al., 2003), depression (ADS-K
Hautzinger et al., 2012) and body awareness (FMI
Wallach et al., 2006) is administered and patients are asked to report the number of falls that occurred during the past 12 months.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine sensitivity of inertial sensors to anomalies in gait variability (e.g. MTC-variability) across MS patients with a varying level of disability (EDSS: 0-6). The primary outcome is reached after the gait variability of all MS patients and healthy controls has been analyzed at one time (July 2020). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine sufficiency of test-retest reliability of gait variability parameters derived with inertial sensors across a period of 4-6 months. | — |
