Objective: To assess the impact of Friedreich ataxia (FA) on the activities of daily living associated with dexterity at different levels of disease severity.
Conclusions: Dexterity outcomes measured by FA-ADL have a strong association with mFARS score, suggesting that mFARS can also capture dexterity progression in FA.
