1. Existing evidence indicates that NIFMV modulate neural transmission at different levels of CNS, contributing to motor control in deficient conditions. The availability of wearable devices for NIFMV, allowing easy, remote or home-based, continuative stimulations therefore should promote the use for symptomatic relief and supportive tool in neurorehabilitation of adult patients with ataxia or movement disorder.

2. This study shows the use of Equistasi® as a support to improve locomotor abilities in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and also in adult patients with hereditary cerebellar ataxias.
