Proximal Resistance Training for People With Multiple Sclerosis
Proximal Resistance Training for People With Multiple Sclerosis

NCT04548154

CompletedNA

Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis

Interventions: Proximal Resistance Training

Countries: United States

The objective of this study is to pilot a 10-week resistance and functional movement intervention targeting proximal muscles in 40 people with MS. The investigators will assess implementation feasibility (recruitment, fidelity, retention, satisfaction), collect pilot data for key walking function outcomes, and examine movement-pattern and activity behavior mechanisms. Walking function will be measured by walking capacity (6-Minute Walk Test - 6MWT) and PA quantity (average steps/ day over 10 days). Movement-pattern mechanisms will be measured using 3D motion capture analysis (pelvis and trunk kinematics). Activity behavior mechanisms will be measured by patient-reported outcome questionnaires (perception of walking ability, self-efficacy, and readiness to change).
