Brief Summary
Over 90% of persons with MS (pwMS) complain of difficulty with walking. High intensity interval gait training (HIIGT), where persons alternate brief periods of walking at high speeds with periods of rest has been found to improve walking in other neurologic diagnoses. However its impact on pwMS is not known. Most gait training in MS is done continuously at a slower pace. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of HIIGT to traditional Moderate Intensity Continuous Gait Training (MICGT) in pwMS.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The ability to walk for 6 minutes continuously with or without assistive device. Rationale:we are using the 6MWT as our primary outcome measure
- The ability to read, understand and sign a consent form so that they are able to understand the study we are doing
- Above the age of 18 because they have to be able to give consent for the study
- English speaking as we do not have the resources for translation for the multiple sessions this study entails
You may not qualify if:
- Report of a recent exacerbation. Rationale: the impact of the rationale can interfere with the impact of the independent variables
