Summary

This trialaims to develop treatments that improve walking ability in people with neurodegenerative diseases.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with specific neurodegenerative diseases like ataxia, leukodystrophy, or those with cerebellar damage due to stroke or tumor. Participants must have a confirmed genetic mutation related to their condition, be able to stand and walk with or without support, and not have other health issues that could interfere with the exercise program.
What is being tested?
The study tests a home exercise regimen designed to improve walking abilities in people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. It aims to create targeted therapeutic interventions tailored for these conditions.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves home exercises, side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and an increased risk of falls if exercises are not performed safely.
