Abstract Background Core stability exercises (CSE) have been shown to be effective in improving trunk function in several neurological diseases, but the evidence is scarce on Hereditary Ataxias (HA). Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of a 5‐week home‐based CSE program in terms of ataxia severity, trunk function, balance confidence, gait speed ...
