Brief Summary:
This study will compare the effectiveness of a traditional, continuous walking rehabilitation program for people with MS to the novel intervention of an intermittent or interval walking rehabilitation program. Half of the participants will receive the continuous walking program while the other half will receive the novel intermittent walking program.
Detailed Description:
The typical rehabilitation of walking difficulties for people with MS has included practice walking. In general, this includes training to build walking endurance by having the person with MS walk until he/she becomes tired and needs to stop. Although this model has been used successfully to treat people with other diagnoses, it has limited effectiveness in improving walking ability and endurance in people with MS because of fatigue. Recently, a different model has been considered: intermittent or interval walking training. Interval walking training is organized such that seated rest breaks are intentionally interspersed between walking training bouts that end before the person with MS becomes too tired to continue. Exploratory research has shown that people with MS can walk faster and farther when using interval walking training, and may have more improvements in walking ability and endurance after using interval walking training. This study will compare the effectiveness of the traditional model of continuous walking training to the promising new model of interval walking training. This will help to determine whether interval or continuous walking training is superior in improving walking ability and endurance in people with MS.
