It is important to remember that MS is only one part of a person and not the person.

MS does not represent them, it is not their identity, they are as normal as the next person.

Balance

MS can affect balance both directly and indirectly.

 

Some symptoms can worsen balance and increase the risk of falling. Such as:

 

Balance may also be caused by interruptions to the communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

 

Sensory problems may affect the way in which a person walks and thus affect their balance. Such as - numbness can reduce a persons perception of the way their feet are touching the ground, or over-sensitive feet may mean that they are more tentative in the way they walk.

 

Another cause may be dizziness and vertigo. This can make it difficult to remain upright, unsupported, even when standing still.

 

Balance problems may be managed to some extent by being aware of factors that make balance worse.
