Can pwMS who experience spasticity or ataxia benefit from using a stimulation suit for 6 weeks? Researchers will compare two groups: an intervention group (who will use the suit) and a control group (who will not use the suit). Participants in the intervention group will: * Wear the suit for 6 weeks in total every day or every other day (1 week during their MS center admission and 5 weeks at home). * Receive their usual care in addition to wearing the suit. * Undergo clinical tests at the MS center after 1 week and 6 weeks of stimulation. Participants in the control group will: * Receive their usual ca

Inclusion Criteria: * Eligible participants must have ataxia or spasticity alongside impairments in upper or lower extremity physical function. MAS score ≥ 1 will be used as an inclusion criterion to determine the presence of spasticity. SARA score ≥ 4 will be used as an inclusion criterion to determine the presence of ataxia. Note: one of the two criteria (MAS score or SARA score) must be fulfilled for a pwMS to be eligible. * The patient must have the cognitive abilities to understand instructions and to be able to complete the questionnaires adequately * Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Exclusion Criteria: * Implanted devices (like pacemaker, Baclofen pump, neurostimulator, defibrillator, shunts, ECG equipment, electronic life support, high frequency operation equipment ) * Change in disease modifying treatment within the last 3 months * Use of Botuline Toxine A within the last 3months * Recent relapse within the last 3 months * Acute musculoskeletal problems that hinder the test performance, * Pregnancy * Sizes bigger than 3XL (triple eXtra Large) * Skin eruptions and/or skin areas in the stimulation zone that are swollen, infected or inflamed.
