Development of Camera Based Gait Quality Measure for Persons With Multiple Sclerosis

Recruiting

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis, Secondary Progressive
Multiple Sclerosis Relapse
Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing-Remitting

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to develop a measurement of walking quality, called Gait Deviation Index (GDI) for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Detailed Description: In rehabilitation in general, in order to track patients' progress and provide next steps, there is a need for easily obtainable, understandable, and objective measures of ability. Currently, there is no measure that clinicians can utilize to determine walking quality. While Gait Deviation Index has been validated and can reliably be used in adults who experienced a Spinal Cord Injury, it has not yet been validated in people with MS. After the MS-specific GDI is developed from this study, therapists and clinicians will be able use it as a reliable progress measure. Which may lead to the delivery of more effective therapy for patients with MS.

Here we plan to measure body position with camera based tracking during your gait cycle.
