Treatment including treadmill was applied in 30 sessions, one hour each one. Motor function was evaluated pre and post treatment using ICARS scale, velocity, number and width of paces and Hausser index.

Rehabilitation treatment including treadmill has favorable effects over gait disorders in patients with ataxia.
