New measure of walking developed

Researchers in Sheffield have developed a measure that uses an algorithm and sensors in shoes to monitor how people with MS walk. This allows data from real life situations to be used and may indicate changes in progression.

MS Trust launches 'Move it For MS' exercise campaign for MS Awareness Week

25 April 2019

This MS Awareness Week, we are calling on people with MS to pop on their pumps and introduce a little activity into their daily routine. Staying active doesn’t need to mean running marathons or going to the gym, it’s about doing it at your own level, at your own pace. Doing it YOUR way.
