Walking and balance changes
Support for unsteadiness, altered walking, foot clearance, turning, transfers, and fall risk.
MS can affect walking, balance, strength, coordination, and stamina differently from one person to the next. We begin with the activities that are difficult now, then build a practical plan that accounts for fatigue, symptom changes, and your medical guidance.

An evaluation helps the team understand which symptoms are limiting you and whether outpatient rehabilitation is an appropriate next step.
Support for unsteadiness, altered walking, foot clearance, turning, transfers, and fall risk.
Carefully selected activity for strength, movement control, upper-limb use, and functional mobility.
Pacing, energy-management strategies, and task planning for activities that have become harder to sustain.
The plan is individualized and adjusted when fatigue, heat sensitivity, symptoms, or medical recommendations change.
Practice walking, turns, transfers, and assistive-device use when appropriate.
Train postural control and movement accuracy for everyday situations.
Use pacing and activity planning to make important tasks more manageable.
Work on the home, self-care, and community activities that matter to you.
The reference sheet for this program includes the systems below. Your evaluation determines which tools, if any, are appropriate for you; this list is not a fixed protocol.
Electrical stimulation can be coordinated with selected movements and functional task practice.
Suspension and graded resistance can support movement, positioning, and range-of-motion practice.
Motor-assisted arm and leg cycling can be adjusted to the person’s current movement ability.
A harness reduces the amount of body weight the patient must manage during supported walking practice.
The table can bring the body gradually toward an upright position when standing tolerance is part of the plan.
Computerized assessment and training can measure balance responses and guide appropriate balance practice.
A modular workstation for arm and hand movement, coordination, dexterity, and functional task practice.
The frame provides support for upright positioning when independent standing is not currently appropriate.
Bilateral hand support can be used for standing, transfers, weight shifting, stepping, and gait practice.
We review the diagnosis, current symptoms, recent changes, medications, precautions, mobility equipment, and the activities you want to improve or preserve.
Book an AppointmentWe discuss fatigue, falls, mobility changes, and factors that make symptoms better or worse.
The team reviews strength, balance, coordination, walking, transfers, and daily tasks as relevant.
Together, we define priorities and an intensity that respects your response to activity.
The plan can be adapted to symptom variability, fatigue, and your response to activity. Tell the therapist about meaningful changes at every visit.
Fatigue can be part of the evaluation. Therapy may include pacing, task planning, energy conservation, and carefully dosed activity.
Bring recent neurology information, your medication list, therapy reports, and the mobility equipment you currently use.
Tell us the diagnosis, what has changed, and what matters most right now. We will help coordinate the appropriate first appointment.
