Brief Summary: To evaluate the effectiveness of an experimental rehabilitative protocol with specific tasks for the improvement of body awareness and the motor scheme in the patient with multiple sclerosis (EDSS \<2.5).

Primary outcome: improvement of the interoception (awareness of the body) and of the related motor capacity Secondary outcomes: improvement of balance and postural self-correction control
Detailed Description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronically progressive, disabling, autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system causing a wide spectrum of sensory, motor, and neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms. In the great part of patients with MS, there is a cognitive deficit that can start already in the early stages of the disease. Disability related to the disease is usually investigated through the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), however, the scale does not evaluate some very disabling aspects of the disease such as diplopia, fatigue and the impact of cognitive disorders.

The posture and postural self-correction are dependent on the image that anyone have of his own body and on the perception of it in the space, both internal and external. In multiple sclerosis proprioception and interoception are often altered due to motor and cognitive impairment.

The investigators propose a rehabilitative protocol that combine postural rehabilitation with specific visual-spatial tasks, relaxation sessions with self-awareness improvement and cognitive rehabilitation.
