Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This pilot study will recruit people with MS who report falling at least twice in the previous 2 months to participate in the FFF program. All subjects will record their falls and injurious falls on a daily basis for at least 3 weeks before the program, during the program and for 8 weeks after the program. The program will consist of a weekly 2 hour session. One hour of the session will be educational and one hour of the program will involve exercise.
