Effects of a wearable proprioceptive stabilizer on kinematics and spatio-temporal gait parameters in young with genetic ataxias

Introduction: Genetic ataxias are a degenerative disease of cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord, in which gait and limb ataxia are key clinical features [1]. Focal mechanical vibration was found effective in improve limb and gait ataxia in adults with hereditary ataxias [2]. Equistasi ® is a medical wearable device composed by nanotechnology fibers that transform body temperature into mechanical vibration (
