Link to episode: www.neurologyl...
In this episode, Douglas Wajda, PhD, an assistant professor of neurology at Cleveland State University, discussed a pilot study presented at the 2024 Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) Annual Meeting using a functional electrical stimulation approach, Neural Sleeve, to treat gait in MS. Wajda, who has been studying gait in MS for several years, gave clinical insight on the functionality and feasibility of this approach, and the personalized treatment patients can gain from it. He also discussed the pilot study in detail, including the major end points and takeaways from the small group of patients observed.
