Friedreich ataxia is a progressive, life shortening neurological condition. The main study in this Fellowship will examine the effect of movement and cognitive training on improving arm function and cognitive skills in people with Friedreich ataxia. Four groups of 10 people with Friedreich ataxia will each be exposed to different interventions and the outcomes will be assessed by a series of tests of upper limb function and cognition as well as magnetic resonance imaging.
