Description

This study will investigate whether mentally simulating walking movements while watching others walk can improve walking performance in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will watch walking videos and imagine themselves walking, while the other group will watch nature scenes. The study will measure muscle activity and walking patterns to assess the effects. The results may help support the use of mental practice techniques to improve mobility in people with MS.

Interventions

  • Action Observation + Motor Imagery (Behavioral)
    Participants will watch videos showing walking actions and will be instructed to mentally simulate the movement.
  • Nature Video (Behavioral)
    Participants will watch a video of nature scenes.
