Coordination Examination; Anterior Lobe of Cerebellum; Flocculonodular Lobe
Description
Clinically, the ataxic syndromes caused by vestibulocerebellar and spinocerebellar disease are lumped together and are called midline or equilibratory (gait) ataxias. The hallmarks of these midline ataxic syndromes are truncal instability manifested by titubation (tremor of the trunk in an anterior-posterior plane at 3-4 Hz) and gait ataxia (wide based, irregular steps with lateral veering). NeuroLogic Exam has been supported by a grant from the Slice of Life Development Fund at the University of Utah, the Department of Pediatrics and the Office of Education at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Viewing the video requires installation of the free QuickTime Plug-in. Both English & Spanish audio & captions are available in this video.
