Free From Falls
Subjects in the active group will participate in the Free From Falls Online Program consisting of 8 weekly 30 minute webinars providing education about risk factors for falls and fall prevention strategies; self-assessment exercises to evaluate understanding of the material; video-based exercise program targeting balance, posture, strength and flexibility to be performed at least 3 times per week; supplementary, downloadable printed material for both education and exercise; and a social forum to allow participants to interact with each other.

Waitlist
Subjects in the waitlist control condition will receive an educational brochure developed by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society called "Minimizing Your Risk of Falls: A Guide for People with MS," which includes information on identifying risk factors for falling and fall risk management approaches with no exercise component; will inform their provider that they have fallen at least twice in the previous 2 months and discuss subsequent falls over the course of the 5-month study; and will be invited to participate in the Free From Falls Online Program at study completion.
Waitlist Control
Subjects in the waitlist control condition will receive an educational brochure developed by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society called "Minimizing Your Risk of Falls: A Guide for People with MS," which includes information on identifying risk factors for falling and fall risk management approaches with no exercise component; will inform their provider that they have fallen at least twice in the previous 2 months and discuss subsequent falls over the course of the 5-month study; and will be invited to participate in the Free From Falls Online Program at study completion.
