      abstract     = {In a previous retrospective study, we demonstrated that
                      falls are common and often injurious in dominant
                      spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) and that nonataxia features
                      play an important role in these falls. Retrospective surveys
                      are plagued by recall bias for the presence and details of
                      prior falls. We therefore sought to corroborate and extend
                      these retrospective findings by means of a prospective
                      extension of this fall study. 113 patients with SCA1, SCA2,
                      SCA3 or SCA6, recruited from the EuroSCA natural history
                      study, were asked to keep a fall diary in between their
                      annual visits to the participating centres. Additionally,
                      patients completed a detailed questionnaire about the first
                      three falls, to identify specific fall circumstances.
                      Relevant disease characteristics were retrieved from the
                      EuroSCA registry. $84.1\%$ of patients reported at least one
                      fall during a time period of 12 months. Fall-related
                      injuries were common and their frequency increased with that
                      of falls. The presence of nonataxia symptoms was associated
                      with a higher fall frequency. This study confirms that falls
                      are a frequent and serious complication of SCA, and that the
                      presence of nonataxia symptoms is an important etiological
                      factor in its occurrence.},
