Summary
This trial is testing two types of aerobic exercise for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have trouble walking. One type uses a motor to help them pedal faster, while the other lets them pedal at their own pace. The goal is to see if these exercises can help repair nerve cells and improve their ability to walk and move around.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Forced Aerobic Exercise (FE)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The FE group (N=10) will complete 45 minutes of FE on the custom-engineered cycle designed to augment pedaling rate to greater than 70 revolutions per minute (RPM's). The VE group (N=10) will exercise on an identical semi-recumbent cycle ergometer at their self-selected cadence without assistance.
Group II: Voluntary Aerobic Exercise (VE)Active Control1 Intervention
The VE group (N=10) will exercise on an identical semi-recumbent cycle ergometer for 45 minutes at their self-selected cadence without assistance.
