Abstract

People with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) experience fatigue differently than those without MS due to weakness, ataxia, and spasticity. This fatigue can play a role in balance during activities of daily living. Poor balance control poses a health concern for people with MS, resulting in falls, limiting independence, and reducing quality of life. The objective of this project is to test the effects of motor fatigue on static postural balance control in people with MS compared to healthy controls (HC).
