Study Summary

Balance and aerobic training show promise as treatments for degenerative cerebellar diseases, but the neural effects of both training methods are unknown. The goal of this project is to evaluate how each training method impacts the brain, and particularly, the degenerating cerebellum. Various neuroimaging techniques will be used to accomplish this goal and test the hypothesis that balance training impacts brain structures outside the cerebellum whereas aerobic training causes more neuroplastic changes within the cerebellum.

Primary Outcome

This is to measure ataxia severity. The Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) will be administered before and after training. SARA is an 8-item performance based scale, yielding a total score of 0 (no ataxia) to 40 (most severe ataxia) - with higher scores indicating more severe ataxia. The scores are based on patient performance of gait, stance, sitting, speech disturbance, finger chase, nose-finger test, fast alternating hand movements and heel-shin slide. The change in score fr
