  1. Group demographics
  2. Age and severity and duration of symptoms are in relation to the acquisition of MR imaging
  3. There was no significant difference between the age of MSA-C, SAOA and control subjects [ANOVA (p > 0.05)]
  4. The mean value of ataxia severity was significantly greater in MSA-C patients compared to SAOA [ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc analysis (p < 0.001)]
