Home-based strength training for hereditary ataxia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of spinocerebellar hereditary ataxia (a genetic condition that affects balance and coordination).
- Your ataxia symptoms are at a moderate level, usually measured between 10 and 20 on a standard ataxia scale (SARA).
- You have reliable internet and a device (computer, tablet, or phone) that lets you join online sessions.
- You're comfortable using basic online tools like video calls and following instructions on screen.
- You're able to exercise safely and don't have other severe health problems that would interfere.

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 study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve balance and coordination in people with spinocerebellar ataxia. It may offer a new way to ease symptoms without surgery.
This trial studies whether a home exercise program is safe and helpful for people with certain neurodegenerative conditions, including X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and DARS2-related disease, as well as some other similar diagnoses. You would be asked to do exercises at home and be assessed on your walking and strength/safety.
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.
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 study tests two different intensities of balance and walking exercises to see if they improve movement and coordination for people with ataxia (trouble controlling muscles) after a brain injury or other brain condition. The goal is to find a more effective way to help you walk more steadily and move more easily.
