AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT CEREBELLARATAXIAS (ADCA) Autosomal dominant cerebellarataxias (ADCA) frequently represent spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). They are numbered according to the order of detection in the genetic locus.[e-jmd.org]
Tremor, dysmetria, and poor coordination of fine movements are often present. A sensorineural hearing loss has been found in several individuals. Peripheral neuropathy has been reported as well.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Finger-nose and heel-knee-shin tests will demonstrate even mild limb ataxia, with terminal intention tremor and dysmetria (past pointing). Acute-onset ataxia Either due to cerebellar haemorrhage or infarction.[patient.info]
When she was 8 years old, the physical examination of the girl revealed a slight dysarthria, dysmetria on a finger-to-nose test, slowing of fast repetitive movements, and increased tricipital reflex.[ajnr.org]
Tremor, dysmetria, and poorcoordination of fine movements are often present. A sensorineural hearing loss has been found in several individuals. Peripheral neuropathy has been reported as well.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poorcoordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord.[uniprot.org]
Ataxia is derived from the Greek word meaning "irregularity" or "disorderliness" but when used medically, the term describes a condition characterized by poorcoordination of movements.[bcm.edu]
In addition, new neurophysiological and imaging techniques are discussed, along with an in-depth examination of the treatment and management protocols of ataxic diseases.[books.google.de]

Prognosis The period of latency before becoming wheelchair-bound is significantly longer in EOCARR than in FRDA, resulting in a better prognosis in patients with EOCARR than in those with FRDA.[orpha.net]
Management and prognosis This depends upon the underlying cause.[patient.info]
Prognosis [ edit ] Although HSP is a progressive condition, the prognosis for individuals with HSP varies greatly. It primarily affects the legs although there can be some upperbody involvement in some individuals.[en.wikipedia.org]
Beginning with an examination of the cerebellar region, and then progressing to a fresh perspective on the clinical aspects of the various forms of ataxia, this handbook gives clinicians a state-of-the-art reference for the management of the many etiologies[books.google.de]
Etiology The exact etiology of EOCARR is still unknown. However, molecular genetic analysis in a Tunisian family confirmed the genetic heterogeneity of this syndrome and mapped the gene locus to chromosome 13q11-12.[orpha.net]

For patients with walking (gait) problems, canes, walkers, and wheelchairs will facilitate mobility and help to prevent falling and subsequent injury. A number of drugs are available to reduce some of the symptoms of HSP.[medschool.lsuhsc.edu]
Even though physical therapy does not either prevent or reduce degenerative changes to the person's spinal cord, it is believed that receiving regular therapy can play an important part in assisting people with HSP to maintain and increase their muscle[disabled-world.com]
Treatment [ edit ] No specific treatment is known that would prevent, slow, or reverse HSP. Available therapies mainly consist of symptomatic medical management and promoting physical and emotional well-being.[en.wikipedia.org]
The long nerves (axons) are prevented from doing their critical job of sending the right signals to control the muscles. HSP is classified as an upper motor neurone neurodegenerative disease.[hspersunite.org.au]
