NEW EXERCISE FACT SHEET AVAILABLE
Until 2009, no physiotherapy concept had been evaluated for ataxia. Doris Brötz, a Physiotherapist in Tuebingen, Germany in cooperation with Prof. Ludger Schöls at the University of Tuebingen and Dr. Matthis Synofzik, MA Centre for Neurology developed the therapeutic exercises shown on NAF’s newest fact sheet. The exercises emerged from the focus of her work, which is the treatment of patients with neurological disorders and spinal disease. To download a copy of the fact sheet use this link or you may send a request for a hard copy to naf@ataxia.org.
