Intervention / Traitement |
---|---|
Expérimental: Torso Weights then Sham Weights
No weights worn for 4 weeks. Garment with torso weights worn 2-4 hours daily for 2 weeks. Then participants cross-over to wear garment with sham weights for 2-4 hours daily for 2 weeks. Participants wear the Fitbit Flex throughout. |
Following assessment of an individual's directional instability, small weights are applied to a vest-like garment to correct balance loss.
Autres noms:
Following assessment of an individual's directional instability, small weights are applied to a vest-like garment to correct balance loss.
The garment is then taken by another investigator and the actual weights are replaced with sham weights.
Autres noms:
Potential effect on participants' physical activity to see their own step count using this wrist-worn remote monitoring device.

Mesure des résultats |
Description de la mesure |
Délai |
---|---|---|
Sensory Organization Test
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
balance tested during 6 conditions on Neuro-com forceplate and surround and reported as a composite score (across the six conditions), 0-100, with higher scores indicating better balance; measure reported reflects change in the composite score from the visit that initiates Torso-weighting (TW) or sham weights (SW) to the visit that concludes daily wearing of TW or SW
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Gait Velocity
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
As measured using instrumented gait mat.
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Movement Ability Measure, Computer Adaptive Test Version (MAM-CAT)
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Online self-report of perceived current movement ability and preferred movement ability.
The scores are reported in standardized logits, 0-6, where 6 is competitive level athletic movement.
The reported values are the average change in current movement ability from initiation of daily wear to after 2 weeks of daily wear of TW or SW.
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Self-report measure of perception of confidence under various balance challenges on a scale of 0-100 with 100 being fully confident that the individual can perform the listed balance challenge without falling.
Data reported reflect the difference in scores from initiation to the 2-week point after initiation of TW or SW.
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale 29
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Self-report measure of the impact of MS on activities and participation.
The scale is reported in a physical and psychological subscale, with higher numbers (out of 100) indicating worse impact of multiple sclerosis (MS) on function.
Data are reported as change from initiation of TW or SW to end of 2 weeks of daily wear.
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale 12
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Self-report measure of the effect of MS on walking ability.
Larger numbers out of 100 mean that MS limits walking much more.
Data are reported as change in score from initiation of TW or SW to the visit after 2 weeks of daily wear of TW or SW.
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Six-Minute Walk Test
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
distance participant walks in 6 minutes.
Larger numbers indicate more distance covered.
Data reported are the change in distance walked from initiation of TW or SW to after 2 weeks of daily wear.
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Stride Length
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
As measured using instrumented gait mat.
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Percent of Gait Cycle in Single Limb Support
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
As measured in percent (e.g., 0.35) of gait cycle spent on one limb using instrumented gait mat.
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Step Width
Délai: change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
As measured using instrumented gait mat.
|
change from initiation to 2-weeks after initiation of daily wearing of TW or SW
|
Electromyography to Assess Muscle Activation
Délai: Week 4, Week 6, Week 8
|
Recording of muscle activation during quiet and perturbed standing before and after intervention at weeks 4, 6, and 8. Average values with and without weighting during each visit.
|
Week 4, Week 6, Week 8
|
Number of Falls Recorded in 2 Weeks of Wear Time.
Délai: count of number of falls recorded at the end of two weeks of wearing TW or SW
|
Daily log manually recorded by participant for the 2 weeks of wear time.
This is a descriptive measure recording the total count (number) of falls per arm.
|
count of number of falls recorded at the end of two weeks of wearing TW or SW
