About this trial
In the sponsor's words
This study is a controlled pilot study with 17 participants with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The primary goal of this study is to objectively examine the effects of a multimodal dance intervention on walking-related performance fatigability. The secondary aim is to investigate the effects of a multimodal dance intervention on other MS symptoms related to fatigue and fatigability. The following research questions will be addressed: 1. Does a multimodal dance intervention have positive effects on walking-related fatigability? 2. Does a multimodal dance intervention have positive effects on other MS symptoms related to fatigue and fatigability?
