Objective: To assess independence, confidence and balance for development daily activities in patients with SCAs, before and after rehabilitation with virtual reality (ViR). Background: Spinocerebellar…Balance rehabilitation with a virtual reality protocol for patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia: Protocol for a clinical trial
Objective: Determine benefits of vestibular rehabilitation involving virtual reality through the comparison of pre-intervention and post-intervention evaluations in individuals with hereditary spastic paraplegia. Background: Neurodegenerative…Beyond Parkinson’s disease: the use of standardized speech, physical and occupational therapies for PD in atypical parkinsonisms, other movement disorders and aging conditions
Objective: 1) Examine how speech, physical and occupational therapists are using evidence-based, Parkinson’s specific treatments (LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG) in atypical parkinsonisms, other movement…Implementation of computer game technologies for patients with ataxia due to post-traumatic head injury: Randomized controlled trial
Objective: Up to 85 % of patients with post-traumatic brain injury suffer motor discoordination, ataxia and dyspraxia. The formation of the correct movement patterns, improved…A translational approach to determine target concentrations of MIN-102 (leriglitazone) to support a Phase II study in Friedreich’s ataxia
Objective: To determine efficacious plasma concentration of leriglitazone from preclinical models of Friedreich´s ataxia (FRDA). To confirm CNS target engagement in a first-in human study.…Feasibility and Acceptability of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment for patients with hereditary ataxia
