- •
Gastrocnemius and soleus spasticity and contracture is apparent in people with Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA).
- •
Spasticity is evident early in the disease and in ambulant patients.
- •
Management of spasticity and reduced muscle length should be considered in FRDA at disease onset to optimise function.
