What is Phase I Single‐Blinded Randomized Control Trial Comparing Balance and Aerobic Training in Degenerative Cerebellar Disease about?

## Introduction Primary deficits in individuals with cerebellar degeneration include ataxia, unstable gait, and incoordination. Balance training is routinely recommended to improve function whereas little is known regarding aerobic training. ## Objective To determine the feasibility of conducting a randomized trial comparing balance and aerobic training in individuals with cerebellar degeneration. ## Design Assessor blinded randomized control phase I trial. ## Setting Assessments in medical center, home training. ## Participants Twenty participants with cerebellar degeneration were randomized to home balance or aerobic training. ## Intervention Aerobic training consisted of 4 weeks of stationary bicycle training, five times per week for 30‐minute sessions. Home balance training consisted of performing the same duration of easy, moderate, and/or hard exercises. ## Outcome Measures Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA), maximal oxygen consumption (VO~2~max), Dynamic Gait Index, Timed Up and Go, gait speed. ## Results All 20 participants completed assigned training with no major adverse events. Seven of each group attained target training duration, frequency, and intens
