Ataxia

This article has been translated from WikiSkripta; ready for the editor's review.

Ataxia is dyscoordination or clumsiness of movements that is not the result of muscle weakness. This is a failure of the plan, measurement and monitoring of the trajectory of movements. It can affect eye movements, speech, limbs, trunk, standing and walking and is caused by lesions of the vestibular apparatus, cerebellum or proprioceptive pathways.
