Secondary mechanical factors causing spinal
and/or extremity stress effecting the coordination and balance has been our
focus in work with Friedreich ataxia. Analysis and corrective work to
increase joint flexibility is combined with retraining to decrease alignment
related stresses that are contributing to the overall symptomatic condition.
Note: All cases involved cross applications
of biomechanical analysis, correction and retraining methods that were originally
developed to enhance joint range of motion, flexibility and performance of
the elite dancer and international athlete. We seek the participation and
involvement of the medical community with both the assessment of potential
cases that may benefit from our research as well as active participation throughout
the course of consultations.
