This non-drug, non-medical device, interventional study explores the feasibility of integrating virtual reality (VR) with wearable sensors to support gait training using a passive orthosis in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim is to determine whether this approach can enhance clinical gait assessment and facilitate orthosis adaptation by replicating real-life scenarios within a safe and controlled environment. The virtual environment, accessed through a head-mounted display, will be delivered via a custom simulator incorporating standardized gait tasks embedded in everyday settings. This system is designed to minimize the artificial influence of clinical settings on walking performance, while providing clinicians with objective gait data for more comprehensive evaluation.
