Ataxia Rubral

Ataxia is a neurological syndrome that is characterized by impaired coordination of human movements. This may be associated with various diseases and injuries of the central nervous system.

There are two types of ataxia: nystagmus and asynergia. If, when a person looks to the side in one direction, his gaze moves forward upward or vice versa, nystagmus appears. Nystagmoid also occurs when the head and torso are turned: when the head is turned, the eye moves with it, while the torso deviates in the direction of the head. Therefore, during movements in which the body and

Ataxia Rubral is a group of neurogenic disorders of the cerebellum (cerebellar degenerations), manifested by symptoms of damage to its lower parts, the most significant defect is trembling of the limbs (icterine or drunken gait) on the affected side.\n\nClinical signs of ataxia Rubral are:\n\n1 . movement coordination disorder. When a person turns or changes position, he begins to stagger and looks drunk;\n\n2. hypermetry of limb movements on the opposite side of the body. This means that while the arm is working normally, the leg is not bending completely. Therefore, even simple manipulation (for example, opening a door) can be difficult;\n\n3. bilateral violation of normal skin sensitivity;\n\n4. instability of standing and walking (occurs when the cerebellum is damaged).\n\nThe most characteristic manifestation of ataxia is called a sweeping, staggering type of gait (hypermetry). \n\nHypermetry, unlike other signs, appears almost immediately after the birth of the child. Due to the instability of the body, various motor deviations occur on it - stooping, increased tilt of the head, additional walking on a walker, hyperkinetic movements in the limbs, etc., which gradually progress during the development process.\n\nAnother distinctive sign of ataxia is the frequent need for a child support under the arms. Gradually, a bilateral anomaly of walking and standing becomes noticeable: when moving, the body unfolds around its axis in the direction forward and to the right. Also, the child begins to lick his tongue because in response
