Despite availability of various conventional treatments, reducing disability and improving the quality of life is a challenge in this condition. In the present case report, based on the clinical symptoms and site of pathology, an Ayurveda-based diagnosis of\n kaphavruta vayana<\/jats:italic>\n and\n kaphavruta udana<\/jats:italic>\n was considered. Therapeutic measures such as\n rookshana<\/jats:italic>\n (drying therapy),\n vatahara<\/jats:italic>\n (measures to pacifying\n vata), balya<\/jats:italic>\n (strengthening), and\n brimhana<\/jats:italic>\n (nourishing) regimens were adopted along with oral medications and specific yoga practices. The objective of the treatment was to improve stability, posture, and balance. After 10 weeks of integrative treatment, a demonstrable improvement was observed in scale for assessment and rating of ataxia Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA), fall risk, and limit of stability (using computerized dynamic posturography). Hence, an integrated Ayurveda and Yoga-based lifestyle regimen may serve as a useful adjuvant in improving fall risk and limit of stability in patients with SCAs.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijoy.ijoy_49_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]],"date-time":"2023-04-20T14:29:24Z","timestamp":1682000964000},"page":"168-172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Integrative Approach Improves Fall Risk and Postural Stability in Spinocerebellar Ataxia-2 \u2013 A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Kavyashree","family":"Kulamarva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Umesh","family":"Chikkanna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kishore Kumar","family":"Ramakrishna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hemant","family":"Bhargav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Selva Ganapathy","family":"Velayutham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shivarama","family":"Varambally","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-13-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"472","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2017.00472","article-title":"Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2: Clinicogenetic aspects, mechanistic insights, and management approaches","volume":"8","author":"Vel\u00e1zquez-P\u00e9rez","year":"2017","journal-title":"Front Neurol"},{"key":"R2-13-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1543","DOI":"10.1002\/acn3.51370","article-title":"Spinocerebellar ataxia clinical trials: Opportunities and challenges","volume":"8","author":"Brooker","year":"2021","journal-title":"Ann Clin Transl Neurol"},{"key":"R5-13-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.31878\/ijcrpp.2019.34.4","article-title":"Role of Udvartana, a diurnal Ayurveda practice in the prevention and management of diabetes mellitus","volume":"3","author":"Bhat","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int J Curr Res Physiol Pharmacol (IJCRPP"},{"key":"R6-13-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-8520.115450","article-title":"Etiopathological study on cerebral palsy and its management by Shashtika Shali Pinda Sweda and Samvardhana Ghrita","volume":"34","author":"Vyas","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ayu"},{"key":"R7-13-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.4103\/0028-3886.51286","article-title":"Improvement of balance in progressive degenerative cerebellar ataxias after Ayurvedic therapy: A preliminary report","volume":"57","author":"Sriranjini","year":"2009","journal-title":"Neurol India"},{"key":"R9-13-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"294","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-8520.153748","article-title":"Clinical study on the efficacy of Rajayapana Basti and Baladi Yoga in motor disabilities of cerebral palsy in children","volume":"35","author":"Shailaja","year":"2014","journal-title":"Ayu"},{"key":"R10-13-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.7897\/2277-4343.1105161","article-title":"A critical appraisal on the mechanism of action of Basti procedure of Ayurveda in perspective of modern physiology","volume":"11","author":"Rawat","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int J Res Ayurveda Pharm"},{"key":"R11-13-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"232","DOI":"10.4103\/0257-7941.188188","article-title":"Efficacy of Nasya (nasal medication) in coma: A case study","volume":"35","author":"Ramteke","year":"2016","journal-title":"Anc Sci Life"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Yoga"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijoy.ijoy_49_22","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T16:02:30Z","timestamp":1787760150000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijoy.ijoy_49_22"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,5]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ijoy.ijoy_49_22","relation":{},"ISSN":["0973-6131"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0973-6131","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,5]]}}}
