No I can't.

I have also discovered that I cannot bounce (like I used to) on my exercise trampoline. Similar muscles, I think.

I can´t either

Are you joking -we are Ataxians

But as s.o. said:

"The truth is there is no cure for us, but neither is there for some Cancers, M.S. Hodgkins

and very many other problems with our bodies and brains. Try and keep in touch with fellow Ataxians and hopefully we can keep each other cheerful "

I'm lucky to even be able to STAND on one foot and then the other. I do this at a ledge between my family room and kitchen, so I can grab on in case I lose my balance (this exercise is helpful for balance in general) . I agree with Litty, as I can't bounce like I use to either! That's awesome that you can still hop on one foot (even with difficulty) Iain25! ;o)

Only one or two hops/steps february. When I try to hop I zig-zag. I too find it difficult to stand on one leg and have to hold on to something! Don't think I could bounce on a trampoline either.

I once bounced off the bed while reaching on top of a wardrobe, I wouldn't like

being on a trampoline! I've just attempted a hop. I can sway to music but very

jerkily, so what happens at the wedding next month, stays at the wedding!
