Three‐Week Video‐ and Home‐Based Training Program for People with Ataxia: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Although the protocol did not lead to general improvements in people with mild/moderate ataxia, irrespective of training frequency, those with higher initial disease severity, higher functional impairment, and better mental well-being showed significant benefits. Greater attention should be given to the impact of well-being to enhance motor training outcomes. Longer, less frequent sessions may offer greater potential for improvement.
