  • Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA)Assessed at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at 3- and 6-month follow-ups.

    The SARA is a tool for assessing ataxia. SARA is an 8-item performance based scale, yielding a total score of 0 (no ataxia) to 40 (most severe ataxia). The scores are based on patient performance of: gait, stance, sitting, speech disturbance, finger chase, nose-finger test, fast alternating hand movements, heel-shin slide.

  • Patient-Reported Outcome Measure of AtaxiaAssessed at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at 3- and 6-month follow-ups.

    The PROM-Ataxia is a self reported questionnaire used by researchers to evaluate the daily impact and progression of cerebellar ataxia directly from the patient's perspective. The questionnaire encompasses 70 total items within 3 main domains: 1) Physical: Gait, manual dexterity, swallowing (dysphagia), and visual/ocular motor control. 2) Activities of Daily Living (ADL): Managing household chores, employment, driving, and self-care. 3)Mental: Mood, anxiety, motivation, and cognitive tasks (e.g., multitasking and comprehension).
