MMSE scale includes 30 items. Score of all the questions will be summed. All items were rated on a 2-point scale (0-1), with a minimal score of 0, and maximum total score of 30. A higher score demonstrates more better cognitive condition. The definition of cognitive disorder differs in education level. For those only receive elementary education, the cut-off value is 20. For other patients, presence of cognitive impairment was defined as MMSE scores less than 25.

MOCA scale is a one page 30 point test. 16 items and 11 categories to assess multiple cognitive domains, including short-term memory recall task, visuospatial abilities, executive functions, attention, concentration and working memory, language and orientation to time and place. A cutoff 26 is used to define cognitive impairment. 1 point is added to the test-taker's score if they have 12 years education or less.

Tandem walk：In this test, patients are asked to walk 10 steps on a straight path, with the heel of the leading foot touching the toe of the following foot. The number of missteps, defined as the number of steps away from the straight-line path, is the primary outcome reported. Balance is assessed by Berg Balance (BBS). The total score of the this scale is 56. It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4. 0" indicates the lowest level of function and "4" the highest level of function. 0-20 on the BBS represents balance impairment; 21-40 on the BBS represents acceptable balance; 41-56 on the BBS represents good balance. Walking condition is assessed by 10 metre Walk Test (10 MWT). Patients walk without assistance 10 meters and the time is measured for the intermediate 6 meters to allow for acceleration and deceleration.

Dystonia postural is assessed by revised Dystonia Rating Scales (UDRS). The total score of this scale is 112, includes ratings for 7 items. For each of the items assessed, the UDRS has a severity and a duration rating. The severity rating is specific for each body region assessed and ranges from 0 (no dystonia) to 4 (extreme dystonia). The Duration rating assesses whether dystonia occurs at rest or with action, and whether it is predominantly at maximal or sub maximal intensity. The total score for the UDRS is the sum of the severity and duration factors.

SARA has eight items that yield a total score of 0 (no ataxia) to 40 (most severe ataxia); 1: gait (score 0 to 8), 2: stance (score 0 to 6), 3: sitting (score 0 to 4), 4: speech disturbance (score 0 to 6), 5: finger chase (score 0 to 4), 6: nose-finger test (score 0 to 4), 7: fast alternating hand movements (score 0 to 4), 8: heel-shin slide (score 0 to 4). Limb kinetic functions (items 5 to 8) are rated independently for both sides, and the arithmetic mean of both sides is included in the SARA total score.
