RECRUITING

Home Exercise for Individuals With Neurodegenerative Disease

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The primary goal of this study is to address the need for targeted therapeutic interventions for impairments that impact walking in related neurodegenerative diseases.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:5 Years to 75 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:Yes
Standard Ages:CHILD, ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * The eligibility criteria for males is X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy as determined by biochemical determination or genetic testing.
  2. * The eligibility criteria for females is X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy as determined by biochemical determination, genetic testing, or pedigree analysis.
  3. * The Leukoenceophalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation inclusion criterion is a confirmed DARS2 mutation through genetic analysis.
  4. * For people with cerebellar ataxia, people with diagnoses of cerebellar damage from stroke, tumor or degeneration will be included. Those with a genetically confirmed cerebellar disorder will be asked to provide their genetic testing to note their particular type of ataxia.
  5. * We will also include patients with other neurodegenerative diseases similar to these disorders as determined by chart review and clinical exam.
  6. * Able to stand for 30 seconds without upper extremity support
  7. * Ambulatory (including use of a cane or a walker)
  8. * Able to walk for 2 minutes
  1. * Other medical or psychological conditions which in the clinical judgement of the investigator would interfere with acquiring the study information or performing the exercises safely including but not limited to:
