abstract = {Monitoring of disease severity is of great importance for
treatment and management of clinical trials. The Scale for
Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is a frequently used,
short and easily applicable clinical scale used to assess
the severity of ataxia. The objective of our study was to
develop a training and certification tool for the SARA. SARA
scores were recorded according to a standardized protocol
and rated by three clinical experts in consensus. Four
hundred thirty-eight videos of 67 patients were included in
the SARA training tool. The tutorial section demonstrates a
complete SARA examination on a healthy control. In the
training section, users can compare their ratings to
consensus ratings and access a video library covering the
complete SARA range. The tool also includes a section that
allows optional certification. The SARA training tool
provides comprehensive and standardized training material
and certification to reduce variability in applying the
SARA. Standardization aims to improve the quality of patient
care and research in ataxia.},
