Rehabilitating individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia: Experiences from impairment-based rehabilitation through multidisciplinary care approach

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a rare neurodegenerative disease with progressive course and poor expected outcomes. Therefore, rehabilitation remains the principal form of management especially in advanced disease. Impairment-based rehabilitation through multidisciplinary care approach has proven b...
