It is known that several studies have focused on the description of the gait pattern of ataxic patients. The results of these previous studies were not always homogenous, ranging from deviations of spatiotemporal parameters and kinematic features to normal values in other reports. Some authors found gait alterations only in severe ataxia. Contrasting findings are maybe due to the heterogeneity of the populations examined in these studies. However, if we restrict the search to the studies focusing on gait analysis of FRDA population, we find a more consistent pattern.
