The t-Student’s test with Bonferroni correction was applied to identify statistical significance between patients with FRDA and controls. The values of step length, stride length and step width have been normalized for participant’s height. Repeated measures t-Student’s tests were executed to verify statistical differences between the baseline and the follow-up values of the patients. T-Student’s tests were similarly applied to evaluate statistical differences on the standard deviations between FRDA and controls and for the patients between baseline and follow-up. The differences between standard deviations were assumed as an index of variability in the motor pattern. Correlational analyses were also executed among the variables of the study: demographic, genetic, clinical variables and gait analysis parameters. Statistical analyses were conducted using the software IBM-SPSS 20.
