  • Requires 2 testing visits and 8 training visits at the laboratory.

2. Backward Walking to Assess Fall Risk in MS

  • Backward Walking to Assess Fall Risk in MS Participants will visit the lab 1 time to perform backward walking, cognitive testing, a 1-hour MRI, and other walking/balance tasks.
  • Participants will wear a wrist-worn accelerometer home for the next 6 months and report weekly falls using their smartphone.

3. Examining Cognitive Performance Over Time in Multiple Sclerosis

  • Participants will visit the lab 3 times (Baseline, 1 year later and 2 years later) to perform a series of mobility and cognitive tests.
  • After each visit, participants will wear a physical activity monitor and play "brain games" on a provided smart-phone for a 2 week period.

4. Development and Validation of a Balance Assessment for Huntington's Disease (Balance-HD)
