Exercise program for spastic ataxia types ARSACS and SPG7
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program (including pool exercises) can help people with certain types of hereditary ataxia. The goal is to see if it reduces symptoms like muscle stiffness and coordination problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a rehabilitation program designed to help people with ataxia (a condition affecting coordination and balance) improve their walking and daily function. It aims to see if the program can help you move more safely and independently.
This trial tests an intensive, video-based exercise program for people with a specific type of hereditary spastic paraparesis (SPG4). It aims to see if adding extra training at home can improve walking and strength.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program (specialized core and strength training) delivered through video calls, designed to help people with hereditary ataxia improve stability and strength. It may offer a convenient way to do targeted physical therapy without needing to travel.
This study tests a combined exercise program with flexibility, strength, aerobic, and movement training to see if it helps improve walking in adults with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. Participants attend at least 10 supervised sessions over several weeks.
This trial tests whether a guided 12-week strength and movement exercise program, done at home using your phone or computer, can improve walking ability and muscle strength in people with hereditary spastic paraplegia (a genetic condition that causes leg stiffness and weakness). The program is tailored to your current fitness level.
