Effect of Long-Term Climbing Training on Cerebellar Ataxia: A Case Series

Table 3

Significant performance changes compared to baseline (BL). Significant improvements of motor performance in bold, deterioration of performance in italic, ns: not significant. BL: mean of B1 and B2, baseline tests before training. T1, T2, T3: tests during and at the end of the training period. FU: follow-up test after training.
