Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Feasibility of the remote assessment and a digitally delivered exercise intervention
The researchers will test the feasibility of delivering the exercise intervention via video, defined as: 1. Adherence to the intervention by number of completed intervention sessions Acceptable level: ≥70% adherence at 6 months. 2. Data collection - feasibility of outcome measures Criteria: ≥ 90% of video-based measurements can be conducted according to protocol. ≥ 80% of PROM assessments can be completed as planned. 3. Safety Documentation of adverse events (all occurring and documented adverse events associated with the intervention will be recorded in accordance with the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0.). 4. Acceptance and perceived usefulness Criterion: Qualitative analysis of interviews shows that the intervention is perceived as meaningful, feasible, and not too burdensome. 5. Technical aspects Criterion: ≥ 90% of participants can complete video sessions without major technical problems, beginning after the first three sessions.
Secondary outcomes
Handgrip strength
Measured with a hand dynamometer
Physical activity
Activity counts per day, registered with accelerometry (Fibion Sens)
Patient-reported quality of life
Measured with Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-25.
Motor function
Assessed with the brief ataxia rating scale (BARS), higher numbers indicate worse outcomes.
