Ataxia and Exercise Disease Using MRI and Gait Analysis

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Ataxia, Spino Cerebellar Degeneration, Spinocerebellar Ataxias

In brief

The first aim is to show balance training improves DCD individual's ability to compensate for their activity limitations, but does not impact disease progression. The second aim is to demonstrate aerobic exercise improves balance and gait in DCD persons by affecting brain processes and slowing cerebellar atrophy.
