Abstract Background Friedreich's ataxia is a rare, neurodegenerative, multisystem disorder. While ataxia is a hallmark, non‐ataxia signs, including muscle weakness, spasticity, and dysphagia are equally disabling. The Inventory of Non‐Ataxia Signs (INAS) is a symptom list transformable to a 16‐item count.

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims A pragmatic evaluation of bulbar function among adults with spinal muscular atrophy (awSMA) is needed, requiring the validation of a low‐cost, feasible outcome measure (OM). Maximum phonation time (MPT) and S/Z ratio (S/Z) are potential low‐cost OMs for bulbar function. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties

Detrusor Overactivity and Urodynamics
ABSTRACT While overactive bladder (OAB) is a clinical diagnosis, detrusor overactivity is identified through urodynamic testing. UDS is usually considered when primary treatment for OAB fails, because UDS is expensive, time consuming, invasive, and sometimes inaccurate, and it is not considered to influence treatment strategy substantially.
