Rehabilitation of High-Level Dynamic Balance Skills in an Individual With Significant Nonprogressive Cerebellar Atrophy: Case Report.

This is a single case report, so the findings cannot be generalized to other patients with cerebellar atrophy. There was no control group, so it is impossible to determine if the improvements were due to the specific intervention, natural variation, or the patient's concurrent self-directed strengthening program. The patient did not return for follow-up, so it is unknown whether the gains were sustained over time. The patient was highly motivated and compliant, which may not be typical for all patients with this condition.

The patient participated in the National Institutes of Health Undiagnosed Diseases Program. No specific funding or conflicts of interest are declared in the provided text.

Do not assume this level of recovery is typical for all patients with cerebellar atrophy. This patient had a nonprogressive condition, was highly motivated, and received intensive, supervised training with a harness. Results may not generalize to patients with progressive ataxia or those unable to tolerate high-intensity exercise.
