Gait variability, that is, fluctuations in movement during walking, is an indicator of walking function and has been associated with various adverse outcomes such as falls.

In this paper, current research concerning gait variability in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) is discussed.

It is well established that persons with MS have greater gait variability compared to age and gender matched controls without MS.

The reasons for the increase in gait variability are not completely understood.

Evidence indicates that disability level, assistive device use, attentional requirement, and fatigue are related to gait variability in persons with MS.

Future research should address the time-evolving structure (i.e., temporal characteristics) of gait variability, the clinical importance of gait variability, and underlying mechanisms that drive gait variability in individuals with MS.
