Alcohol-induced cerebellar ataxia ACA is a common acquired characterized by degeneration resulting from long-term exposure to alcohol. However the role of physiotherapy in treatment unclear. The aim this study was evaluate effect on balance and coordination an individual with alcohol-induced ataxia. A 35-year-old male diagnosed underwent program involving gait training exercises in-hospital environment for two weeks twice daily 35-40 minutes. outcome measures used were Berg Balance Scale BBS Comprehensive Coordination CCS Assessment Rating Ataxshyia SARA. Measurements taken pre-intervention post-intervention. scores improved significantly all three indicating improvement debilitating condition that can majorly influence onersquos life. This case report suggests exercise-based interventions be beneficial improving impairment associated ACA.
