Motor Training in Degenerative Spinocerebellar Disease: Ataxia-Specific Improvements by Intensive Physiotherapy and Exergames

Table 2

Personally selected goal of the goal attainment score for an exemplary individual with degenerative cerebellar ataxia (subject C4).

Individual goal: walking around a table with small distance without swaying	Score
The patient walks around the table mainly by touching the table	−2
The patient can walk around the table without touching the table most of the time	−1
The patient can walk around the table without touching the table	0
The patient can walk around the table without touching the table and he is able to look around sometimes	+1
The patient can walk around the table without touching the table and he is able to look around the whole time	+2

Five levels of goal attainment were defined before the intervention started. Scores range from −2 to 2 (−2~baseline, −1~less than expected outcome, 0~expected outcome, 1~greater than expected outcome, and 2~much greater than expected outcome [35]).
