Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. iSARA [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    measurements collected by wearable inertial sensors during instrumented Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (iSARA)

  2. SARA [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) measurements evaluated by clinician to measure severity of spinocerebellar ataxia through coordination, speech, stance, and gait

  3. mFARS [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) measurements evaluated by clinician compared to measure severity of Friedreich's ataxia through coordination, speech, stance, and gait

  4. Daily Life (UChicago site ONLY) [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]
    APDM SmartSox technology used to measure daily life activity(movement, falls, etc.) of all University of Chicago subjects

  5. Ataxia App on Watch/iPhone [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Bi-weekly assessments completed on Ataxia Application for Apple Watches and iPhones. Data collected includes active monitoring of speech, stance, coordination, gait and patient-reported symptoms.

  6. Patient-Reported Questionnaires of Health [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Activities, Balance, and Confidence (ABC) Questionnaire; EQ-5D-5L Health Questionnaire; Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS-5); Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)

  7. Falls Questionnaire [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Automatic email sent out to subjects inquiring about any falls and near falls they have experienced during the past month

  8. Functional Staging [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Clinician evaluates severity of ataxia symptoms.

  9. Timed 25 Foot Walk [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Subjects walk for 25 feet, as quickly and safely as possible, while being timed
