Dual Task Training for Cerebellar Ataxia

Dual-task (CIBT- experimental) group participants will receive 10 minutes of warm up, 40 minutes of CIBT training and 10 minutes of cool down exercises. CIBT program includes performing four types of cognitive tasks during sit to stand, standing with feet apart, one leg, tandem standing, multidirectional reaching, stair climbing and walking (10 metres) tasks. The four cognitive tasks will include: counting backwards by subtracting 4 numbers (for mental tracking ), naming fruits, vegetables, or animals (for working memory), auditory cues for performing activities, example, perform heel raise when you hear the alphabet H (for improving attention and auditory discrimination), short story telling (for verbal fluency). In addition, falls prevention strategies will be taught.
