Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the capacity of a 6-week treatment with neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve walking in individuals whose mobility has been compromised by multiple sclerosis.

Detailed description

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms. Those in one arm will receive a treatment with narrow stimulus pulses (0.4 ms) and those in the other arm will receive wide stimulus pulses (1 ms). The electrical stimulation will be delivered with a Vectra Genisys System.

Conditions

• Multiple Sclerosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Narrow pulse	Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms to receive a 6 week treatment of electrical stimulation that comprises narrow (0.4 ms) stimulus pulses.
DEVICE	Wide pulse	Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms to receive a 6 week treatment of electrical stimulation that comprises wide (1 ms) stimulus pulses.
