@@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).

AWESOME!!! Great job!!! Thanks for sharing and keep it up!!!

Oh goodness ... I'm sorry to hear that. What is the step height?

They are most definitely challenging exercises! Great job for working so hard and being so dedicated! Thanks for sharing and keep up the amazing work!! :)

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/ 🥳ruclips.net/user/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f389.png

Yeah!!! Awesome job!! Keep it up!!! 👏👏👏

Yes, they are definitely advanced for anyone! That's so great that you're up for the challenge! Keep up the hard work!

AWESOME!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!! 🥳

Absolutely! It's fantastic for helping the brain organize and manage our balance sensory systems :) This is beneficial for everyone, but especially with anyone rehabilitating with a neurological condition (including stroke)

@@lsurya4605 I'm not quite sure I understand the question. To clarify, are you asking what the recovery percentage is for spinocerebellar ataxia?

You're welcome! Please be careful as I hope this technique helps keep you safe <3

wow!!! That's amazing!!! Congratulations for finishing them AND really challenging yourself too! Be SO proud of yourself because you deserve a lot of credit for staying determined, resilient and dedicated towards finishing all 30 days! :) 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉

Thank you!!! <3 <3 <3

@@dinahtiessen457 that's amazing! Yes those leg circles are not easy!!!! Great job! 👏👏👏

@@amydeleon3387 haha lol .. very true! Now I'll be thinking of that when I have my patients trialing it 🤣

@@dawnmngo that is so very kind of you! Do you have an email that I can contact you at?

@@TubeRoelie it is not easy! Great job challenging yourself! 👏👏👏

Thank you both for the encouragement and the info!

Thanks for this comment and for the info so that I can add it! ☺️

Thank you for that encouragement 😊

Hi Kris. We usually use a standard one on Amazon linked below... 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. As a disclaimer, this technique isn't safe for everyone, however if appropriate for the right person, can be effective:) Medline Bath Chair, Bench, Seat, Stool for Disabled, Seniors & Elderly Bathroom Transfer Inside Shower/Tub/Bathtub - 400 Lbs.

I'm glad to see that you enjoyed the session! Thanks for your positive feedback and support!

Thanks Shawn for that feedback! I truly appreciate your insight, experiences, and encouragement. Keep it up the amazing work!!! 👏👏👏👏

Thanks Liz! I appreciate your positive feedback and encouragement!

Thanks for sharing that encouragement Liz!

Thanks! Yes they always need to be included in everything 😉

Thanks for that encouragement ❤️ and a HUGE congratulations for finishing day 30!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for that positive feedback and insight. Your experience is so valuable in both teaching individuals without ataxia and validating those with it ❤️

Wowowowow!!! Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Great job!!! Be SO proud of yourself! It's a huge accomplishment to not quit and make it through all 30 sessions! 👏👏👏 AMAZING job!!!!

Yeah!!! You're almost there!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Amazing!!!! 👏👏👏

The five levels are based on balance grades for physical and occupational therapy. I wanted this challenge to be inclusive and therefore broke it down into 5 levels :)

@@LittleStepsBigGains OK

Hi Jackie! Have you looked at The National Ataxia Foundation website? There is a tab that connects you to a plethora of resources on current and upcoming research updates. Also, on RUclips, they have "meet the ataxia expert" where various experts ask questions about ataxia. I've learned a lot through there as well :) www.ataxia.org/

Just AWESOME!!! You're getting closer! Keep up the resilience and determination!!! 👏👏👏

In this challenge I have four! :) Buddy (chocolate labradoodle), Tulip (wheaten terrier) and Lana (Bernese mountain dog) usually like running in first. Clark (Yorkie) comes and goes as he pleases during the videos ❤️ ... He snores and shorts quite a bit that sometimes I have to edit it out 🤣

@@LittleStepsBigGains I love them. Like how they take your exercise space. 😁

@@nyakarimaking20 aw thanks for sharing! They run in when I'm getting set up and do NOT like being left out 🤣

Wow awesome!!! You are just so determined!! Thanks for the updates- I love hearing them!!! And keep up the amazing work!!! 👏👏👏

That's awesome!!!! Great job!!!! Keep it up- you've got this !!! 👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉
