Inclusion and exclusion lines below are quoted from ClinicalTrials.gov. No match score is shown, because a score needs a person's age, biomarkers, and treatment dates. Confirm the record with the study team.
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a higher fall risk compared to older people and to the general population. A meta-analysis reported that 56% of those with mild to moderate MS, fell at least once during a 3-month period. The risk of falling seems to peak when the walking distance starts to be affected and when walking aids are introduced and the walking distance is as short as 100 m. Previous studies have identified a number of fall risk factors, both relating to MS- symptoms and contextual factors. In a study published in 2025, we reported the complexity of fallsituations and the interaction between triggering factors, contextual factors and activities and circumstances that occurred before the fall incidents . The symptoms when having MS varies between individuals as well as over time. I the planned randomised, controlled multicenter study we move forward, producing individual fallrisk analyses based upon the findings from the study published in 2025, and offer individual strategies. This has not been studied before. All participants will receive general information on how fall risk can be prevented....
