Summary

This trial will compare the effects of high intensity interval gait training (HIIGT) to traditional moderate intensity continuous gait training (MICGT) in people with MS who have difficulty walking.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 with Multiple Sclerosis who can walk for 6 minutes, even if they need a device to help them. It's not open to those with heart/lung problems, recent MS flare-ups, or other neurological/orthopedic conditions.
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of walking exercises: High Intensity Interval Gait Training (fast walking with rest breaks) and Moderate Intensity Continuous Gait Training (steady slower walking), to see which is better for improving walking in people with MS.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue from exercise, and an increased risk of falls during training sessions due to the physical nature of the interventions.
