Abstract:BackgroundIn patients with cerebellar ataxia (CA), dual-tasking deteriorates the performance of one or both tasks.ObjectiveEvaluate the effects of 4 weeks of cognitive-coupled intensive balance training (CIBT) on dual-task cost, dynamic balance, disease severity, number of falls, quality of life, cognition and cost among patients with CA.MethodsThis RCT compared CIBT (Group 1) to single-task training (Group 2) among 32 patients with CA. The intervention included either dual-task (CIBT) or single-task training … Show more
