The Ataxia Research Center at the University of South Florida is looking for volunteers, ages 7 and up, to participate in part of a research project, “Longitudinal change of gait and balance in Friedreich ataxia.” Volunteers for this project must have genetic diagnosis of FA and be ambulatory with or without an assistive device. The purpose of this project is to examine whether walking patterns and balance assessments are able to assess how people are affected with Friedreich ataxia.
For more information or if you are interested in participating please contact the coordinator at 813-974-5909 or email
