Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study investigates the effect of different conditions of auditory cueing and music on walking quality and perceived fatigue in persons with multiple sclerosis compared to healthy controls. The study extends over a four session period, each session lasting maximally 1h30 minutes The experimental conditions include participants walking to music and metronome (at different tempi) for 3minutes and 15 seconds per condition, with a rest period of 3 minutes in between each condition. Non-invasive equipment will be used. participants are equipped with sensors (watch-like straps at the wrists, ankles and across the chest) and are given wireless headphones.
