| Trial name or title |
Do textured insoles alter gait, foot sensation & proprioception in people with Multiple Sclerosis? |
| Methods |
Quasi‐randomised controlled trial |
| Participants |
176 community‐dwelling pwMS, across Brisbane, Australia. Adults with a diagnosis of MS (disease steps 1–4), who
are ambulant over 100 meters, and meet specific inclusion criteria, will be recruited |
| Interventions |
Participants will be randomised to a smooth control insole (N = 88) or textured insole (N = 88) group |
| Outcomes |
The primary outcome measure will be mediolateral base of support when walking over even and uneven surfaces.
Secondary outcome measures include: spatio temporal gait parameters, gait kinematics, foot sensation (light touch‐pressure, vibration, 2‐point discrimination) and proprioception (ankle joint position sense) |
