Relapsing remitting MS

Brief Summary

We are looking to recruit adults aged 30-65 who have relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis. This project will determine components of MS fatigue and how they relate to standard tests. Participants will be asked to attend our laboratory on the Griffith University Gold Coast campus. Testing sessions will take about two and a half hours of your time. During testing sessions, you will be asked to complete a number of leg contractions and clinical tests. Eligible participants will be remunerated with an $80 gift voucher to Coles/Woolworths as a thank you upon completion of the session.
