The most common and important consequence of multiple sclerosis (MS) is impaired walking, which limits daily activities and increases the risk of falling. This article provides an overview of the main non-pharmacological methods of medical rehabilitation of gait disorders in people with MS (aerobic and strength training, robotic technologies, orthotics and functional electrical stimulation), which have an evidence base on systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Special attention is paid to the approach to rehabilitation in people with severe disabilities. Methods for determining gait parameters using tests and high-tech devices are considered, which serve as the basis for the routine assessment of the domains of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) and the effectiveness of interventions.
