Inclusion criteria
* Diagnosed with MS (Mc Donald's criteria), Expanded Disability Status Scale ≤3.5 (no disability-fully ambulatory with moderate disability), ≥18 years, being employed. By these criteria the study will include individuals most accessible for the intervention and who have the best prospects to maintain/improve balance, walking, physical activity and participation in employment.
Exclusion criteria
* Retired, pregnancy at enrolment, exacerbation within two weeks prior to enrolment and other serious conditions compromising balance, walking or work capacity.

About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease affecting young adults. Impaired balance, walking, reduced physical activity and participation in employment are common, however, less integrated in the health care. The researchers have developed a multidisciplinary intervention and pathway delivered across health care levels targeting the promotion of balance, walking, physical activity and participation in employment. The research team will perform a pilot feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) and interviews to investigate the feasibility of the new intervention compared to a standard care for individuals with lower levels of disability.
