i have been doing the exercises for my ataxia, how many minutes a day do i need ti do theses to see improvement?
@LittleStepsBigGains 4 күн бұрын
@@loriporter7364 hi Lori. That's a great question. In reference to how long it takes to see improvement, unfortunately the answer is a bit different for each person as there are so many forms and progressions with Ataxia. Rewiring the brain and sensory systems is a lot more complicated than building muscle strength and therefore there really is no straightforward answer. This is especially true since everyone is at their unique stage in the disease progression. In reference to exercise dosage, research studies with ataxia often are more intense with 45- 60 minute sessions 5 days a week for months, however, I have seen results with little steps too as it's more realistic for long term habits. These research protocols are intense as they have strict guidelines in a set amount of time. I usually recommend shooting for 20-40 min. This intensity may be too much for some individuals who do better breaking it down into smaller fragments (2 times/day x 15 min).

I’m non load bearing on one foot and desperate to try this. However, even the one you mentioned doesn’t offer enough adjustable leg difference for the rise in steps. I’ve looked until my eyes are crossed 😁. Have you found a better one offering more inches to adjust?

Yay! Just finished this challenge after doing the one for stability/ataxia. One question: what is the reason for doing the same exercise sequence every day when the other challenge mixed it up with different ones? Thank you for providing these videos. They really help me stay disciplined and motivated.❤

Wow! Congratulations!!!! Great job!!! 👏👏👏🥳🥳🎉🎉 And great question!... the exercises in this challenge are the exact same ones completed by participants in a research study that showed coordinative training can improve motor performance and a reduction in ataxia symptoms in degenerative cerebellar disease. I contacted the researcher (Dr. Ilg) and the physiotherapist (Dr. Brotz) to identify the exact exercise routine prescribed. However, since it can be boring to do the exact same routine, I changed the dosages to add a little diversity :) The study is linked below if you're interested <3 Congratulations again!!! 👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉 Intensive coordinative training improves motor performance in degenerative cerebellar disease pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19864636/ 🥳kzbin.infogaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f389.png

I'm this video, for this step height, the legs are adjusted so that the inside ones are on the very shortest height and the outside ones on the very longest hight.
