Assessment of Ataxia Rating Scales and Cerebellar Functional Tests: Critique and Recommendations

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We identified some "recommended" scales and functional tests for the assessment of patients with major hereditary ataxias and other cerebellar disorders. The main limitations of these instruments include the limited assessment of patients in the more severe end of the spectrum and children. Further research in these populations is warranted.
