Effects of High Intensity Stepping Training on Gait in Patients With Ataxia

The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston·interventional·Posted Jun 10, 2024·Updated May 2, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Polar H10 heart rate monitor, Therastride Treadmill System, and 2 other interventions for Cerebellar Ataxia. Completed, enrolled 4 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of high intensity stepping training on gait recovery, including walking speed and endurance, in patients with cerebellar ataxia. The hypothesis is that there will be a significant improvement in gait outcome measures (6 Minute Walk Test and 10 Meter Walk Test) in patients who receive high-intensity stepping training during physical therapy.

Interventions

Polar H10 heart rate monitordevice

Heart rate will be monitored using a Polar H10 heart rate monitor, with the goal of reaching moderate to high intensity for 30 minutes during the one hour long therapy intervention.

Therastride Treadmill Systemdevice

Participants will be asked to walk on the Therastride Treadmill for 30 minutes.This treadmill can unweight patients so that the task of walking becomes easier. The body weight can be adjusted depending on how much assistance a patient needs from 0% of their bodyweight (completely independent) to up to 50% of their bodyweight for the purposes of this study.

VECTOR Bionessdevice

Participants will be asked to walk using the VECTOR Bioness on a track outside the gym with a harness attached to an overhead sling system. This system can unweight patients so that the task of walking becomes easier. The body weight can be adjusted depending on how much assistance a patient needs from 0% of their bodyweight (completely independent) to up to 50% of their bodyweight for the purposes of this study. This system allows for overground walking on a small indoor track as opposed to walking on a treadmill.

Physical therapyother

Physical therapy will be administered by a physical therapist and will include overground walking, treadmill walking, stairs, and resisted walking.
