Spinocerebellar ataxia 43
MONDO:0014867Spinocerebellar ataxia type 43 is a rare autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type I disorder characterized by late adult-onset of slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia, typically presenting with balance and gait disturbances, in association with axonal peripheral neuropathy resulting in reduced/absent deep tendon reflexes and sensory impairment. Lower limb pain and amyotrophy may be present, as well as various cerebellar signs, including dysarthria, nystagmus, hypometric saccades and tremor.
Also known as: MME autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia, SCA43, autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia caused by mutation in MME, spinocerebellar ataxia 43, spinocerebellar ataxia 43; SCA43, spinocerebellar ataxia type 43

Robots as rehab coaches: a new approach to retraining coordination in ataxia
Disease control OngoingThis trial tests whether robot-assisted neurorehabilitation can improve coordination, balance, and walking in adults with ataxia, a condition that affects movement control. Participants will receive either robotic or standard rehabilitation, and researchers will measure changes i…

Can a gentle brain zap help people with ataxia walk better?
Symptom relief OngoingThis study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve movement in people with degenerative ataxia, a rare condition that damages the cerebellum and impairs balance and coordination. Sixteen participan…
