Filter by:Ataxic CP is one type of cerebral palsy. children with ataxic cerebral palsy have trouble with balance and coordination. They may walk with their legs farther apart than other kids and have a hard time with activities that use small hand movements, like writing. Some also have trouble with depth perception This means being able to accurately judge how close or far away something is
Using a retrospective cohort of 34 patients with DNER ataxia, we will characterize clinical presentation, tumor associations, and outcomes.
This international, multi-center, multi-modal and prospective observational study aims to determine the phenotypic spectrum and the natural progression of the RFC1 repeat expansion disease, and to seek and validate digital, imaging, and molecular biomarkers that aid in diagnosis and serve as outcome measures in future clinical trials of this novel, but frequent ataxia with late adult-onset.
This study aim to investigate the neuroimaging changes of hereditary ataxia patients, especially in the SCA3 patients in preclinical or mild stage.
The investigators aimed to find appropriate biomarkers such as serum neurofilament light chain in reflecting disease severity in hereditary ataxia from a large cohort during long-term follow-up. The disease severity is indicated by clinical scales and brain MRI tests.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of using a selected dual-task- training program to improve postural stability in children with ataxia after medulloblastoma resection. Thirty patients will participate in this study. Patients will be classified randomly into two equal groups: study and control groups -Both groups will receive conventional physical therapy treatment including mobility exercises, balance exercises, gait training exercises, and exercises to improve physical conditioning. In addition, the study group will receive a selected dual-task training program including balance and cognitive activities. The treatment program will be conducted three days per week for eight successive weeks. The patients will be assessed with the Scale of Assessment and Rating of Ataxia, Humac Balance System, the Pediatric Balance Scale and Functional Independent Measurement. The measures will be recorded two times: before the application of the treatment program (pre) and after the end of the treatment program (post).
This dose-escalation study is aimed at investigating a novel application for artesunate in the treatment of Friedreich ataxia. It will evaluate this novel application of oral artesunate using a surrogate biological marker as primary endpoint in a phase I-II open trial
This study evaluates the feasibility of an early occupational therapy (OT) protocol in critical adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation with Covid-19.
The aim of this study iss to analyze the effect of Lycra garments in the axial stabilization in subjects affected by ataxia, both in acquired cerebellar injuries and malformative etiology. Improvement are expected for what concerns: - greater stability during stance - smoother walking pattern - reduction of risk of fall. The two groups (acquired and malformative) will be compared.
This study evaluates the efficacy of an early and intensive occupational therapy (OT) protocol in critical adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Evaluating the functional independence at hospital discharge.
