Outcome measures before and after the gait/conditioning stage.

Outcome measure	Before	After	value
Duration
Median/range	9.4/2.15–22.4	20.9/3.08–22.9	0.04
Inclination %
Median/range	5.25/0–10.5	21/0–21	0.04
VE Peak L/min
Median/range	26.6/17.3–54.1	32.1/23.3–56.5	0.05
Borg peak
Median/range	17/15–20	15/11–20	0.55
DGI
Median/range	13/1–21	16.5/8–24	0.03
BBS
Median/range	48.5/28–54	48/16–54	0.89
SARA
Median/range	13.5/8–18.5	9/7–19.5	0.08

Values are median or range (minimum–maximum) of 8 individuals with SCA. VE Peak = minute ventilation for the peak of effort; DGI = dynamic gait index; BBS = Berg balance scale; SARA = scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia. = statistically significant in the Wilcoxon matched-pairs test.
