Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) results from a faulty mitochondrial protein known as Frataxin. The purpose of this case report was to test whether skeletal muscle in FRDA can adapt to an endurance-based training program using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)Muscle adaptations to endurance training were seen in FRDA, but increased training might be needed to test if mitochondrial capacity can improve.
