ACTRN12616000415404.

Trial name or title	Do interventions targeting proprioceptive feedback and exercise improve functional gait and reduce falls and falls risk in people with MS?
Methods	Randomised controlled trial
Participants	Participants with MS
Interventions	Experimental treatment: four exercises at home on a whole body vibration (WBV) board, at least 3 times a week for 10 weeks. Each exercise session should take ˜30 minutes Control treatment: the treatment will be the same as in the WBV group, except that participants will perform the same four exercises on a hard stable surface at least 3 times a week for 10 weeks
Outcomes	Primary: falls risk will be assessed using the Physiological Profile Assessment (PPA) fall risk index score. This is a series of tests composed of weighted values from five sensorimotor and balance domains: quadriceps muscle strength, hand reaction time, proprioception, postural sway, and visual contrast sensitivity. Falls risk will be measured at baseline and at 10 weeks after the commencement of the intervention.
