Clinical rating scale to measure Ataxia disease severity and progression

SARA is a clinical scale developed by Schmitz-Hübsch et al which assesses a range of different impairments in cerebellar ataxia. The scale is made up of 8 items related to gait, stance, sitting, speech, finger-chase test, nose-finger test, fast alternating movements and heel-shin test.

OTHER

Clinical rating scale to measure spastic paraplegia disease severity and progression

A 13-item scale to rate functional impairment occurring in pure forms of spastic paraplegia (SP). Additional symptoms constituting a complicated form of SP are recorded in an inventory.

OTHER

Disease-specific severity index for adults with autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS)

"The DSI-ARSACS is a valid measure of disease severity for the adult ARSACS population that is able to distinguish between patients with different clinical profiles.~It considers the 3 components (pyramidal, cerebellar, neuropathic) of the disease, and documents its content validity, internal consistency, and construct validity."
