Summary

The hereditary ataxias are a group of genetic disorders characterized by slowly progressive incoordination of gait and balance impairments in sitting and standing. Trunk local stability during gait is lower in patients with degenerative ataxia than that in healthy adult population.

Given the fact that drug interventions are rare in degenerative diseases and limited to only specific type of diseases and symptoms, physiotherapy is a major cornerstone in current therapy of ataxic gait. Core stability exercises training could be included as an adjunct to conventional balance training in improving dynamic balance and gait. Due to the nature of the interventions, the study will have a single blind design.

Conditions

  • Hereditary Ataxia
  • Spinocerebellar Degenerations
  • Cerebellar Ataxia

Interventions

OTHER

Therapeutic core stability exercises

exercises focused on trunk muscle strengthening, proprioception, selective movements of the trunk and pelvis muscle, and coordination, and will be carried out in supine, sitting on a stable surface and sitting on an unstable surface (ball). The exercise involves changes in the position of the body with or without resistance, aiming to improve strength, endurance, proprioception and coordination. Training is determined by the patient's ability to undertake easy exercises and progress to more challenging exercises.

OTHER

Usual care

Usual routine as walking and activities of daily living.
