What is Spinocerebellar Ataxia?

Spinocerebellar Ataxia is a rare, progressive neurological disorder that affects the cerebellum—the part of the brain responsible for movement coordination. SCA is usually inherited and leads to symptoms like poor balance, unsteady gait, slurred speech, tremors, and difficulty with fine motor skills. While there is no cure, physiotherapy can significantly improve functional ability and quality of life.
