Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Postural control and gait dysfunction are prevalent in persons with multiple sclerosis. Given the importance of assessing, monitoring and improving balance and gait function in persons with multiple sclerosis, advances in these areas provide a significant opportunity for enhancing the quality of life of persons with multiple sclerosis.
This Special Issue, “Advances in Balance And Gait Assessment, Monitoring And Rehabilitation In Multiple Sclerosis”, invites original contributions that explore the use of novel tools or methods for the assessment of balance and gait function, covering a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel interventions targeting balance or gait in persons with multiple sclerosis;
- Use of novel tools or methods for assessment of balance and gait function in persons with multiple sclerosis;
- Novel algorithms and methods for processing, analyzing and interpreting balance or gait data in persons with multiple sclerosis.
