The disability of ataxia may be reduced by physical therapy, including exercises, along with leg braces or shoe splints, if foot alignment has been affected; a cane or walker is often used in the effort to prevent falls. [psychology.wikia.com]

When TP started seeing me he had been falling and had sustained multiple different fractures of his feet and ankles over the past 2-3 yrs. He found it was more difficult to walk on uneven surfaces and keep his balance. [acupuncturedoctor.net]

Other clinical signs were stumbling, staggering, intention tremor, bunny hopping, muscle spasms, as well as balance loss and falling. SDCA is a progressive disease and the affected dogs are usually euthanised after 12 weeks at the latest. [shop.labogen.com]

As a result of this gait impairment, falling is a concern in patients with ataxia. [en.wikipedia.org]

I have slurred speech, frequent weak spells, weak spells in my voice, depressed most of the time, sexual impotency, occasional falling or stumbling,occasional tremors in the left hand,lack of balance and coordination, numbness in right leg after standing [medhelp.org]

Common symptoms of Ataxia are lack of coordination, slurred speech, trouble eating and swallowing, eye movement abnormalities, deterioration of fine motor skills, difficulty walking, gait abnormalities, tremors, and heart problems. [ataxia.org]

Difficulty walking, loss of muscle control, loss of fine-movement coordination of hands, and absence of tendon reflexes are the main symptoms observed in this progressive and crippling condition. [encyclopedia.com]

Diagnosis Visit your doctor if you or your child have unexplained symptoms such as balance and co-ordination problems or difficulty walking, talking or swallowing. [your.md]

In addition, the Extended Disability Status Scale was used; this scale may be insensitive to gait changes in patients with difficulty walking. [movementdisorders.org]

In several of the hereditary ataxias, the causative gene plays an important role in DNA repair: ataxia telangiectasia and ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder, and ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type I and II. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The authors investigated the presence of antiganglioside antibodies in 22 patients with hereditary and nonhereditary ataxia and found 64% reactive in a novel agglutination test. Received July 22, 2002. Accepted January 9, 2003. [neurology.org]

Rhythmic, alternating, oscillatory movement of a limb as it approaches a target (intention tremor) or of proximal musculature when fixed posture or weight bearing is attempted (postural tremor) Such malformations are almost always sporadic, often occurring [msdmanuals.com]

In general there is wide legged and unsteady walk with tremors in the trunk of the body and jerky movements of the arms or legs. Patients may also exhibit slow and slurred speech; nystagmus is also a feature commonly seen. [kenhub.com]

The most characteristic symptom of cerebellar degeneration is a wide-based, unsteady, lurching walk, often accompanied by a back and forth tremor in the trunk of the body. [ninds.nih.gov]

Additional features of MSA-c include dysphonia, dysphagia and other cerebellar features including limb ataxia and occulomotor dysfunction (sustained gaze-evoked nystagmus, positional down-beat nystagmus). [orpha.net]

Patients may also exhibit slow and slurred speech; nystagmus is also a feature commonly seen. More specific symptoms reflect the region of the cerebellum that is degenerating. [kenhub.com]

Other symptoms may include slow, unsteady and jerky movement of the arms or legs, slowed and slurred speech, and nystagmus -- rapid, small movements of the eyes. [ninds.nih.gov]

Signs and symptoms of cerebellar degeneration may include a wide-based, uncoordinated walk; a back and forth tremor in the trunk of the body; uncoordinated movements of the arms and legs; slow and slurred speech; and nystagmus. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

If no acquired cause of ataxia is found, or if the history suggests an inherited cerebellar disease, specific genetic testing is indicated. Examples include blood testing for Friedreich’s ataxia or any of the testable spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). [hopkinsmedicine.org]
