Ataxia is a term used to describe a group of disorders that affect coordination, balance, and speech.

Most people feel dizzy from time to time and then get better. Like adults, children may occasionally lose their balance, feel lightheaded or have an unsteady gait. However, if these feelings are repeated or your child is unsteady on their feet, it may be a sign of a balance disorder that causes movement problems in children.

Ataxia (Ataxia) is a movement disorder caused by various causes of brain damage. When suffering from ataxia, the patient will have difficulty moving parts of the body as desired. Ataxia is not a disease but a sign of many other cerebellar dysfunctions or underlying diseases.

Ataxia is a physical finding on examination and is often associated with cerebellar disease. The causes of ataxia are diverse, so the diagnostic workup for cerebellar ataxia often poses a major challenge to neurologists.

Treatment of ataxia can be divided into symptomatic treatment and disease-modifying therapy. There is disease-modifying therapy for some causes of ataxia, especially for acquired cases.

Ataxia is a physical finding on examination and is usually associated with cerebellar disease. However, abnormal sensory information to the cerebellum, such as in diseases involving the posterior column/somatosensory system, can also cause ataxia. Thus, ataxia can have both motor and sensory components, and not all patients with ataxia have cerebellar disease.

Ataxia is a term used to describe a group of disorders that affect coordination, balance, and speech. The symptoms and severity of ataxia depend on the cause, which includes genetic ataxia and degenerative ataxia.
