About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Outcomes from the investigators' recent investigation suggested that a high dosage of challenging physical therapy exercises can result in clinically improvements in the postural balance and walking speed of individuals with MS. This investigation will evaluate mobility and postural balance improvements in individuals with MS who participate in a therapeutic protocol consisting of activity based exercises, and in individuals with MS that participate in challenging physical therapy protocol.
