Hereditary cerebellar ataxia rehabilitation training includes stability training, coordination training, loading training, speech disorder training, standing up training, and daily life training.
1. Stability training: such as improving postural stability in sitting position, helping him to understand his body parts and position by compressing his shoulders, pelvis, knees and ankles (key points) respectively, and increasing proprioceptive input. In the above positions, practice transferring weight in all directions, practicing pelvic movements, as well as allowing the patient to lift his hands and probe for objects.
2. Coordination training: first perform simple movements of single joints and single direction, and then perform more complex coordination movements, such as finger-nose test, heel-knee-shin test, standing with eyes closed, etc.; further practice fine movements such as pinching finger-to-finger, inserting a stick into a plate, rounding from big to small fingers, drawing circles, painting and writing.
3. Muscle strength training: patients may have problems of muscle strength decline, through strength training can effectively improve the symptoms. Such as limb isometric and isotonic contraction exercises, weight-bearing training.
4. Speech disorder training: In addition to daily communication, expiratory and hand pressure on the epigastric region to help expiratory training, pronunciation training, reading newspapers, singing training, etc.
5. Daily life training: Encourage patients to practice daily movements independently with the help of others, such as tying shoelaces and buttons, putting on and taking off clothes and pants, washing the face, drinking water, holding chopsticks and holding peanuts, etc. The training time is not limited.
Rehabilitation for hereditary cerebellar ataxia is recommended under the guidance of doctors and therapists to avoid delaying the condition.
