Hemiataxia Sensitive

Sensitive hemiataxia is a violation of coordination of movements and balance caused by damage to the sensory pathways.

With sensitive hemiataxia, instability in the Romberg position, unsteadiness of gait, and inaccuracy of movements on the side of the affected sensitivity are observed. This is due to a violation of proprioceptive sensitivity (sense of body position in space).

Causes of sensitive hemiataxia:

1. Damage to the posterior columns of the spinal cord

2. Damage to sensory pathways in the brain and spinal cord

3. Damage to thalamic nuclei

4. Cerebellar lesion

Diagnosis is based on a neurological examination, which reveals signs of impaired sensitivity and coordination of movements. MRI of the brain and spinal cord can determine the level of damage.

Treatment is aimed at eliminating the cause of the disease. Physiotherapy and physical therapy help restore coordination of movements.
