Filter by:Background: after resection of medulloblastoma in children they suffer from signs and symptoms of ataxia which impedes their activities of daily living. purpose: to investigate the effect motor imagery training on balance, severity of ataxia and gait parameters on children after resection of medulloblastoma. Methods: Fifty children surfing from cerebellar ataxia after medulloblastoma resection were selected from tumors hospital of Cairo University, their age ranged from seven to nine years old, they were randomly assigned into two matched control and study groups. The control groups received the selected physical therapy program while, the study group received motor imaginary training in addition to the selected physical therapy program. Both groups were evaluated by ataxic rating scale, pediatric berg balance scale and kinematic gait analysis by kinovea software.
Spinocerebellar ataxia 38 (SCA 38) is a very rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by a mutation in ELOV5 gene, specifically expressed in cerebellar Purkinje cells, encoding an enzyme involved in the synthesis of fatty acids. The present study aimed to assess the effect of cerebellar anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) administered employing deltoid (CD-tDCS) and spinal (CS-tDCS) cathodal montage. Clinical evaluation was performed at baseline (T0), after 15 sessions of tDCS (T1) and after one month of follow-up (T2).
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects on motor and cognitive performance of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) compared to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and placebo stimulation (sham) in patients with neurodegenerative ataxia to identify a possible rehabilitation protocol.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of subcutaneous (SC) administration of CTI-1601 over 28 days in subjects with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic effects of multiple doses of intravenous DT-216 in adult patients with Friedrich Ataxia.
This exploratory study used a pre-post test design. The supervised rehabilitation program was performed three times a week for 8 weeks (two sessions at a rehabilitation gym and one pool session). Outcome measures included Ottawa sitting scale, 30-Second Chair Stand test, Berg Balance Scale, 10-Meter Walk Test, 6-minute Walk Test, modified Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale and SARA scale. 10 participants will complete the training program. They will be evaluated at baseline, at week 4 (miway) and after the program.
Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a multisystem auto-somal recessive disorder linked to the A-T mutated gene (ATM) on chromosome 11q22-23, and characterized by progressive neural degeneration, immunodeficiency, and progressive ocular motor dysfunction. In previous studies, the quantitative description of the ocular motor deficits from clinical examination was limited to various defects in saccade and gaze control, dysmetric saccades, impairments of smooth pursuit, gaze holding, convergence, vestibular and optokinetic nystagmus slow phases, and cancellation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex. The aim of our research is to add existing findings with quantitative description of oculomotor patterns in A-T patients using videooculography (VOG).
The aim of the research is to improve motor function in people with cerebellar ataxia by using neuroimaging methods and mental imagery to "exercise" motor networks in the brain. The relevance of this research to public health is that results have the potential to reduce motor deficits associated with cerebellar atrophy, thereby enhancing the quality of life and promoting independence.
This project will study the feasibility of motor rehabilitation in people with cerebellar ataxia using real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (rt-fMRI NF) in conjunction with motor imagery. To do so, data will be collected from healthy adults in this protocol, to be compared with data from cerebellar ataxia participants.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of intravenous DT-216 in adult patients with Friedreich Ataxia. This single ascending dose study is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled.
