Balance training with a stabilometric platform for Friedreich's ataxia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special platform that measures balance can help people with Friedreich's ataxia stand more steadily. If you have Friedreich's ataxia, can walk at least 10 metres and stand without support, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
