The randomized within-participants crossover study aims to demonstrate the clinical impact of the Cionic Neural Sleeve for individuals diagnosed with MS.
Physical measurements, performance-based tests, and questionnaire responses will be recorded. These include physical activity recorded by an Actigraph; in-person tests measuring disability, spasticity and balance; and questionnaires gauging perceived walking ability, quality of life, and physical and psychological impact of MS.
All participants will be assigned a hip-worn Actigraph activity monitor, a Cionic Neural Sleeve on the most impacted leg, and prescribed a home-based intervention of 15 minutes of walking for 5 days a week for 12 weeks. The Actigraph will be worn for the duration of the 12-week walking intervention, while the Cionic Neural Sleeve will be worn for 6 weeks of the study.
Participants will be randomized to one of two groups: A or B. Group A will wear the Actigraph and receive stimulation assisted walking from the Neural Sleeve (intervention), while group B will only wear the Actigraph while walking. After 6 weeks, participants in each group will cross over to the other group.
