Abstract
Introduction: The standing postural control is dependent upon numerous inputs interacting across multiple temporal-spatial scales. As such, the dynamics of its output, i.e., postural sway, is physiologically complex. Studies have shown the degree of postural sway complexity is often diminished by aging and diseases. Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by dysfunction of the cerebellum and its connected neural networks. People with SCA often had impaired standing postural control, and recent studies using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve the postural control performance in SCA. We thus hypothesize that rTMS may increase the postural sway complexity in SCA.
