ntroduction. The spinocerebellar ataxia is a hereditary pathology with neurodegenerative alterations characterized by gradual ataxia, postural oscillation, and delayed balance reactions. These individuals present great propensity to fall. The balance evaluation is important to prevent falls in this population. Objective. The aim of the study was to evaluate the balance in individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia, in order to correlate it with the risk to fall. Method. Balance and risks of fall was evaluated in seven patients with clinical diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia, with Berg scale. The statistical analysis was Pearson´s Correlation. Results. There was a positive correlation (r: 0.86) between the balance deficit and the risk of falls. Conclusion. Our data suggest that the ataxic gait and coordination deficits lead to a static and dynamic imbalance and propensity to fall.
