PY - 2019 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Neurology, 3e AB - Ataxia (from the Greek “without order”) denotes incoordination and imbalance, involving limbs, stance, and gait, as well as speech and ocular disturbances. In practice, the term is used when these symptoms arise from neurologic dysfunction involving the cerebellum and its connecting pathways. However, ataxia can also result from malfunction of sensory input from proprioceptive sensory pathways or the vestibular system into the cerebellum. Ataxia often results in significant loss of independence, and injuries from falls as well as other complications lead to considerable morbidity.
