Navigating Gait Changes in MS
Walking changes in MS aren’t one-size-fits-all — and understanding why your walking has changed can help you know what to work on.
Learn how the different pieces of the walking cycle work together, what can interfere with them, and practical strategies that may help improve your walking, safety, and confidence.
Includes workshop replay + exercise program
Is this workshop for you?
Wondering why your walking has changed — and what you can actually do about it?
Maybe you're catching your toes. Maybe one leg feels harder to advance. Maybe you're noticing changes in your balance, endurance, coordination, or the way you compensate when you walk.
In MS, gait changes can come from many different factors — including weakness, spasticity, foot drop, balance, fatigue, sensory changes, and motor control.
The key is figuring out which parts of walking are breaking down so you can choose strategies that actually address the problem.
In this workshop, I break walking down step-by-step so you can better understand your own gait and the options that may help.
in this workshop, you’ll learn about:
• Why gait changes happen in MS
• The 6 pieces of the walking cycle — and what can go wrong at each one
• Common gait patterns, including foot drop, circumduction, Trendelenburg, vaulting, scissoring, ataxic gait, and spastic gait
• How weakness, spasticity, balance, fatigue, and coordination can affect walking
• Targeted exercises and strategies for different gait challenges
• Bracing, AFOs, and mobility device options
• Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and other technology that may help
