Friedreich ataxia
Establishing the clinical validity of using wearable sensors to measure and track lower and upper limb dysfunction in both children and adults with Friedrich ataxia.
Friedreich ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive ataxia, cardiomyopathy, scoliosis and, in some individuals, diabetes. FA is characterized by progressive difficulties in gait, upper extremity coordination, and speech, and has no cure.
Our research in FA is focused on establishing the clinical validity of using wearable sensors for monitoring lower and upper limb dysfunction over time in both children and adults with FA.
