About this trial

This cross-sectional study aims to assess the pattern of gait in patients with multiple sclerosis and to evaluate its relation to cognitive function, visual evoked potentials, and radiological findings.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

- Age 18 to 55 years

Confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis according to the revised McDonald criteria

Clinically stable (no relapse or steroid treatment within 4 weeks)

Able to walk independently with or without a single assistive device

Disqualifiers

- Other neurological, orthopedic, visual, or vestibular conditions affecting gait

Severe cognitive impairment precluding valid testing

Pregnancy

MRI contraindications

Trial population

Patients with multiple sclerosis attending the Neurology Department outpatient clinic and gait laboratory at Assiut University.
