The staff at Rookwood will advise you on which is suitable for your circumstances (walker with solid legs or wheels, tri or square etc)
Ataxia South Wales has now set up a support group in Cardiff, to cater for the East of Wales, DM me with you details and I can contact the co-ordinator (If you wish)
last meeting was attended by 13 delegates.
