Study Summary
The primary aim is to show balance training improves DCD individual's ability to compensate for their activity limitations, but does not impact disease progression. The second aim is to demonstrate aerobic exercise improves balance and gait in DCD persons by affecting brain processes and slowing cerebellar atrophy.
Primary Outcome
Cranial MRI will be performed in all participants using a 3-T scanner. Using each individual's T1-weighted image, structural imaging measures of cerebellar brain volume will be derived using the FreeSurfer software package (http:// surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/). FreeSurfer will automatically assign a neuroanatomic label to each voxel. From this labeling, a set of volumetric regions of interest is defined. The calculated volume within the cerebellar region is adjusted for variations in individual'
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Balance training
- BEHAVIORAL Aerobic training
