About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that causes damage within the central nervous system and results in deficits of body functions. The investigators propose a pilot randomized controlled trial examining the acute effect of kinesio tape application in various body segments on balance, mobility, physical functioning, and pain in persons with MS (pwMS) aged 18 to 55 years old. The investigators will objectively assess balance using a force platform and mobility and physical functioning will be assessed using standardized tests (i.e., Timed Up and Go, Timed 25-foot Walk, 6-minute Step Test, Six Spot Step Test). The trial will recruit 24 pwMS aged 18 to 55 years with mild-to-moderate MS-related disability who will be randomized into intervention (Kinesio Tape) or control conditions (Sham/Inflexible Tape). Participants will complete assessments before and after tape application. This pilot trial will inform future research interventions aiming to use the approach in different situations with pwMS (e.g., exercise).
