Key Points

The aim is to identify the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) categories relevant to rehabilitation for degenerative cerebellar ataxia (DCA).
Descriptive analysis of a multifaceted rehabilitation program.
Assessment of interventions based on ataxia severity.
Evaluation of specific ICF domains related to activity and participation.
Identified multiple ICF categories corresponding to rehabilitation for DCA.
Interventions varied significantly based on the severity of ataxia.
Tailored combinations of interventions showed potential to improve activities of daily living.

Implication

Descriptive analysis identifies ICF categories in rehabilitation for ataxia, suggesting tailored interventions improve daily living outcomes.

Abstract

Multifaceted rehabilitation for DCA corresponds to multiple ICF domains. Interventions targeting activity and participation vary with ataxia severity, suggesting that tailored combinations may improve specific activities of daily living.
