Hi everyone another question does anyone have the feeling of falling backwards. I have to use a rollator inside and out but over the last 6 months or so when standing up straight i get a feeling im falling backwards. When stood at the sink I have to lean forward to stop the feeling of falling. Also my son is down visiting us and he says I can walk unaided if I don’t think about my ataxia. Anyone else forgotten about their ataxia and been able to walk.

Definitely.. backwards and to one side. I even get this feeling sitting down sometimes. This is why rollators are safer than zimmer frames. It's difficult to maintain posture whilst leaning forward at the hip to maintain balance. My neurophysio recommends exercising glutes and core. X
