ABSTRACT

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 23 patients with clinical, neurological and genetic diagnosis of type 2 spinocerebellar ataxia, assisted in the Neurogenetic Service of “Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso” Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out from January, 2013 to December, 2015, in order to obtain a reduced group of gait spacetemporal parameters in these patients, by means of the videographic technique. A sample of 35 healthy individuals over 18 years chosen at random, was also included. Significant differences between the biomechanical phenomenum variables extracted from the evaluation of gait in sick and healthy people were observed. The method used allowed to determine that the course of the disease influences in the decrease of gait speed and increases the step width and the hip oscillations.
