 Spinosarabella otaxia-38, SCA-38, is a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive damage to the nervous system. This study used a computerized 3D gate analysis to compare the gate patterns of seven people with SCA-38 to those of 20 healthy controls. The results showed that people with SCA-38 had slower walking speeds, shorter strides, and longer steps than the control group. Additionally, they had more difficulty maintaining balance and coordination while walking. These differences in gate patterns suggest that people with SCA-38 have impaired motor function and coordination, which can lead to difficulties with walking and other activities.
