At Kinsa Care, we understand the complexities of providing care for patients with Ataxia or Friedreich’s ataxia.
Ataxia is a neurological disorder most often caused by damage to the cerebellum, an area of the brain that helps with balance and coordination.
Friedreich’s ataxia is a specific type of ataxia that affects around 1 in 50,000 people worldwide and is an inherited genetic disorder. Some symptoms common to all types of ataxias include difficulty walking, impaired speech, vision problems and difficulty with using their hands. To provide complex care services for patients with either Ataxia or Friedreich’s ataxia, Kinsa Care takes into consideration each patient’s individual needs and goals.
We offer specialised equipment such as wheelchairs or other mobility devices for those who need extra help getting around or navigating their environment. We also guide occupational safety so that our patients can continue to live independently despite their condition. Finally, we collaborate closely with family members involved in the patient’s care so they can better understand how best they can assist in providing adequate support and guidance while respecting the autonomy of our clients who have Ataxia or Friedreich’s ataxia.
At Kinsa Care, we believe in providing the highest quality care that meets not only medical needs but also addresses lifestyle concerns so that our clients living with Ataxia or Friedreich’s ataxia may still lead a full and active life despite their diagnosis. We are dedicated to helping individuals affected by this condition manage it effectively and enjoy life fully despite its symptoms and challenges.
