研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of high intensity stepping training on gait recovery, including walking speed and endurance, in patients with cerebellar ataxia. The hypothesis is that there will be a significant improvement in gait outcome measures (6 Minute Walk Test and 10 Meter Walk Test) in patients who receive high-intensity stepping training during physical therapy.

入选标准
- •diagnosis of ataxia
- •admitted to The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR) Texas Medical Center (TMC) Inpatient or TIRR Kirby Glenn Outpatient
- •pathology that primarily affects the brain/cerebellum, including degenerative diseases, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), posterior fossa tumor, and multiple sclerosis (MS)
- •ambulatory at initial evaluation or will have functional ambulation goals at initial evaluation (as noted by 10 meter walk test and 6 minute walk test measures documented as 0)
- •chronicity of injury will be of at least 1 month or greater
排除标准
- •diagnoses that may have cerebellar involvement but without cerebellar ataxia as a principal impairment such as autism, down syndrome, schizophrenia, etc
- •non ambulatory or who are not able to participate in high intensity stepping training due to cardiac involvement (such as cardiac rehabilitation parameters) or due to orthopedic limitations (such as weight bearing parameters)
结局指标
主要结局
Walking Speed in Meters Per Second as Assessed by the 10 Meter Walk Test(10MWT)
时间窗: Baseline, 3 weeks
Participant is asked to walk a distance of 10 meters and the speed is measured by dividing the distance covered by the time taken.
Distance Walked in Feet as Assessed by the the Six Minute Walking Test (6MWT)
时间窗: Baseline, 3 weeks
Participants will be asked to walk as far as possible for 6 minutes. Longer distance walked shows better outcome.
次要结局
- Ataxia as Assessed by the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA)(Baseline, 3 weeks)
- Ability to Balance as Assessed by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS)(Baseline, 3 weeks)
