Targeted Lower Extremity Joint Training Effects on MS Gait Abnormalities

This study is being done to test the possible benefits of task-specific focused ankle
training using the Ankle-Bot on subjects with Multiple Sclerosis who have "foot-drop." The
study also compares the effectiveness of task-specific focused ankle training using the
Ankle-Bot with conventional focused ankle therapy in improving the gait of subjects with MS.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Clinical Diagnosis of MS

- EDSS level between 3.5 - 6.0

- Unilateral foot-drop

- Able to ambulate 25 ft. with no more than a unilateral assistive device

Exclusion Criteria:

- Lower extremity injuries that limit range of motion or function

- Unable to demonstrate an understanding of the process of the study and/or fully
understand instructions in order to safely participate in the study and use study
equipment

- Unable to fit safely and properly into the Ankle-Bot device
