NCT ID NCT07200505
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test a 12-week home exercise program for 24 adults with moderate-to-advanced hereditary ataxia, a condition that affects coordination and balance. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive supervision via video calls or just phone check-ins. The goal is to see if the video-supervised program leads to better trunk control, balance, and muscle strength.
