Turkish version of Brief Ataxia Rating Scale
TLDR
The Turkish-language adaptation of the Brief Ataxia Rating Scale is reliable and valid for application in children and will contribute to broadening its use in the pediatric age group in particular.
Documenting the psychometric properties of the scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia to advance trial readiness of Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay
Evaluation of upper extremity ataxia through image processing in individuals with multiple sclerosis
TLDR
TAAP is an objective tool that will allow neurorehabilitation professionals and clinicians to evaluate upper extremity coordination among patients with multiple sclerosis and is more sensitive than other classical and current methods for evaluating ataxia.

TLDR
Findings suggest that problem-based task training has a positive effect on balance and motor function in a child with cerebellar ataxia after brainstem glioma surgery.
Quantifying the impact of upper limb tremor on the quality of life of people with multiple sclerosis: a comparison between the QUEST and MSIS-29 scales.
Targeted ballet program mitigates ataxia and improves balance in females with mild-to-moderate multiple sclerosis
TLDR
The TBP was well tolerated, improved balance, and mitigated ataxia, and clinical improvements were larger than those of previous studies on physical rehabilitation in MS with similar outcome measures.
The trunk control: Which scale is the best in very acute stroke patients?
TLDR
Four scales investigated in this study can also be used to evaluate the patients with very acute stroke and researchers can use one of four scales considering their aim, patient populations and clinical characteristics of patients.

An Update on the Measurement of Motor Cerebellar Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis
TLDR
The present and new tools used by clinicians and researchers to assess cerebellar impairment in people with MS (pwMS) are reviewed and recent advances in digital and home-based monitoring for people withMS are described.
Brain connectivity and motor improvements after ballet intervention in multiple sclerosis: pilot
TLDR
The relationship between these network changes and clinical improvements in balance and amelioration of ataxia after participation in the Targeted Ballet Program requires a larger randomized-controlled clinical trial of the TBP in persons with RRMS.

Reliability and validity of the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale: A study in 156 spinocerebellar ataxia patients
TLDR
Although validity testing was limited, there was evidence of validity of ICARS when ataxia disease stages and Barthel index were used as external criteria and the redundant and overlapping nature of several items gave rise to a considerable number of contradictory ratings.
[Reliability of the Japanese version of the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA)].
TLDR
A new rating scale--Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA)--was shown to provide highly reliable assessments; further, the scores on SARA correlated with the ICARS score and the Barthel index.
Balance assessment in Multiple Sclerosis and cerebellar ataxia: rationale, protocol and demographic data
A core set of standardized balance measures are required for use in rehabilitation among people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and cerebellar ataxia. An earlier systematic review and Delphi survey…
Reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia
TLDR
The Chinese version of SARA is reliable and effective for the assessment of degeneration cerebellar ataxia and compares with ICARS, which is more objective, the assessment time is shortened, and the maneuverability is better.
International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale for pharmacological assessment of the cerebellar syndrome
Development of a brief ataxia rating scale (BARS) based on a modified form of the ICARS
TLDR
A brief ataxia rating scale (BARS) for use by movement disorder specialists and general neurologists is developed, valid, reliable, and sufficiently fast and accurate for clinical purposes.
Scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia
TLDR
The Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia is a reliable and valid measure of ataxia, making it an appropriate primary outcome measure for clinical trials.
Composite cerebellar functional severity score: validation of a quantitative score of cerebellar impairment.
TLDR
The CCFS is a simple and validated method for assessing cerebellar ataxia over a wide range of severity, and will be particularly useful for discriminating paucisymptomatic carriers from affected patients and for evaluating disease progression in future therapeutic trials.
Korean Version of the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia in Ataxic Stroke Patients
TLDR
K-SARA is a reliable and valid measure of ataxia in stroke patients in Korea and has been found to correlate with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).

TLDR
The ICARS appears a useful tool to extract and rate the severity of cerebellar signs in MSA; however, it is clearly contaminated by parkinsonian features.
