Survey on the Feasibility of Telehealth Rehabilitation for Ataxia
There are two goals: 1) to survey adults with ataxia regarding their mobility and functional ability level and their openness to a telehealth or in-person rehabilitation intervention and 2) if interested in participating in such a trial, to collect their contact information.
