The aim of this study iss to analyze the effect of Lycra garments in the axial stabilization in subjects affected by ataxia, both in acquired cerebellar injuries and malformative etiology. Improvement are expected for what concerns: * greater stability during stance * smoother walking pattern * reduction of risk of fall. The two groups (acquired and malformative) will be compared.

RECRUITINGMovement of the center of mass over GRAIL/no device
Balance in static conditions and Walking assessment over GRAIL. GRAIL will be used to track the movement of the Center Of Mass of the patient during 4 repetitions lasting 1 minute
Time frame: immediately before wearing the lycra garment
Movement of the center of mass over GRAIL/ with lycra garments

Goal Attainment Scaling/no device
Goal Attainment Scaling is a subjective scale that can be defined between clinicians and subjects (or their parents) to identify changes in specific activities. It should be articulated up to 3 goals, and each of them should be scored with values ranging from -2 (worse score) to +2 (better)
