Abstract

This study aimed to generate evidence to support psychometric validity of the modified functional Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (f-SARA) among patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). Psychometric measurement properties and minimal change thresholds of the f-SARA were evaluated using data from a cohort of SCA subjects (recruited at Massachusetts General Hospital MGH; n = 33) and data from a phase 3 trial of troriluzole in adults with SCA (NCT03701399 Study 206; n = 217), including a subset of patients with the SCA3 genotype (n = 89). f-SARA item ceiling effects were absent within the MGH cohort, while floor effects were present. Excellent internal consistency reliability was demonstrated (α
