|
|
Monday, February 17, 2020
Havana.- The Center for Research and Rehabilitation of Hereditary Ataxias, in the eastern province of Holguín, applies yoga among treatment alternatives.
The institution, the only one of its kind on the island, indicated that this program has been used for more than eight years with positive results in improving the patients’ quality of life.
In this regard, specialists indicated that yoga helps improve mobility, balance disorders and muscle contractures.
These symptoms constitute the main sequel of Spinocerebellar Ataxia type II (SCA2), the prevalence rate of which is 46 patients per 100 thousand inhabitants in the eastern territory.
The treatment also reduces stress, anxiety and insomnia, which frequently appear in the advanced stages of the pathology, specially between two and 65 years of age.
