Get to Know This Progressively Degenerative Disease
The sooner Friedreich ataxia (FA) is confirmed with the right genetic test, the sooner you can guide your patients to optimal supportive care.3
FA is a multisystem disease, so it is critical to connect patients and their families to the multidisciplinary support they need.4
The modified Friedreich Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) is a clinically validated neurological assessment and provides a detailed evaluation of a patient’s status. The mFARS can provide a clear picture of the relentless progression of FA and its severe impact on patient function.5
