What are the symptoms of ataxia? What are the symptoms of ataxia?

If the patient has ataxia, these patients often show unsteady walking, when walking, swaying left and right, will be accompanied by slurred speech, like poetic language, the patient can not walk in a straight line, the patient will have unstable fingers and nose, can not complete the heel knee and shin test, ataxia patients, often because the lesion involves the cerebellum, brainstem and other parts, will make the patient have corresponding symptoms, for the cause of ataxia must be identified, if it is caused by cerebral infarction and other factors, Cerebral infarction needs to be aggressive**, and if the patient has a cerebrovascular disease, such as intracerebral hemorrhage or intracranial metastases, the primary disease needs to be aggressive**.

1. Various pathologies may lead to the occurrence of ataxia: peripheral neuropathy: such as peripheral neuritis caused by various **.

2. Posterior spinal cord lesions, such as tabes dorsalis, subacute combined degeneration, etc. 3. Vestibular labyrinthine lesions, such as vestibular labyrinthine inflammation. 4. Cerebellar lesions, such as cerebellar hemorrhage, cerebellar infarction, cerebellar tumor, cerebellar inflammation, etc.

5. Lesions of the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, corpus callosum and other parts of the brain, such as hemorrhage, ischemia, inflammation, tumor, etc. 6. The symptoms of ataxia are mainly manifested in unsteady walking, staggering gait, inflexible movements, adult patients, walking can not be straight, left and right in a curve, manifested as scissor pace, Z-shaped forward deviation, and strive to use both upper limbs to help maintain the stability of the body.

1. Unsteady standing, staggering gait, easy to tipple, loss of balance;

2. Clumsiness of limbs and impaired coordination of movements;

3. Accompanied by limb sensory impairment, weakness, poor distance discrimination, etc.;

4. Accompanied by nystagmus, eating (difficulty in pronunciation), slurred speech, dysphagia, etc.;

5. Accompanied by dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, deafness, etc.;

6. Accompanied by mental insufficiency or dementia, mental abnormalities, etc.;

7. Other severe, persistent or progressive symptoms and signs.

Ataxia can lead to instability.

Ataxia is a kind of neurological symptoms, mostly manifested as uncoordinated hands and feet, unsteady walking, such as unconsciously deviating from the original route when walking, unable to hold objects, cerebellar atrophy, cerebral thrombosis sequelae will appear more, and Parkinsonism will also be like this, must be detected early**.

1.Infancy.

Walking with unsteady gait and shaky limbs. Slowness of motor response and poor accuracy.

2.Medium term. Speech is slurred and the pitch cannot be controlled. If the eye movement is not smooth, the image is prone to "overlap". Muscle incoordination worsens, and it is impossible to write. Sometimes I feel that I have difficulty swallowing and I choke easily when eating.

3.Advanced. Speech is extremely unclear, and it is impossible to speak. Limb weakness, unable to stand, need to rely on a wheelchair to walk. The ability to comprehend gradually decreases, and finally loses consciousness and falls asleep.

Ataxia manifests as abnormal standing and gait, dysmetria, alternating dyskinesia, tremor, dysarthria, hypotonia, and ocular motility disorders.

Ataxia refers to the coordination of movement in the case of normal muscle strength, which is divided into four types: sensory, vestibular and cerebellar, and gait instability is its typical manifestation, and other clinical manifestations may not be completely consistent, as follows:

Cerebellar ataxia: patients often feel unsteady gait, wobbly, and unable to walk in a straight line. In severe cases, they cannot stand or sit. Falling to one side when turning or changing direction, or even falling suddenly.

Sensory ataxia: patients complain of unsteady gait, which occurs with eyes closed. The symptoms mainly appear at night, and in severe cases, the patient cannot determine the position of his lower limbs and feet when walking, and cannot make an accurate judgment on the soles of his feet touching the ground, so he has a feeling of stepping on cotton, which is a manifestation of deep feeling of involvement.

Vestibular ataxia: presents with standing, unsteady gait, impaired postural balance, and tilt to the affected side. Some may also experience vertigo (rotation or moving in a straight line in one direction), nausea, and vomiting.

Cerebral ataxia: contralateral limb ataxia occurs when the frontal lobe is damaged, and the symptoms are not as obvious as cerebellar ataxia, and it is less likely to be accompanied by nystagmus.

Ataxia is when there is no problem with the strength of the muscles themselves, but there is a problem with the coordinated movement of the muscles, and the patient is unable to maintain normal movements or support reflexes. Generally, it can be divided into four types: sensory ataxia, vestibular ataxia, cerebellar ataxia and hereditary ataxia. Because different types of ataxia are different, there are also relatively large differences in methods and efficacy.

Medium-term manifestation symptoms: aggravation of limb and muscle incoordination, obvious movement disorders; Inability to control posture and pace, like a penguin walking;

Ataxia refers to a disorder of coordination of movement with normal muscle strength. Disturbance of the amplitude and coordination of voluntary movements of the limbs, and inability to maintain body posture and balance. However, it does not include coordination impairment in mild limb paralysis, voluntary movement deviation due to ophthalmoplegia, difficulty in voluntary movement due to visual impairment, and apraxia due to cerebral lesions.

The anterior horn cells of the spinal cord receive the regulation and control of the ascending and descending conduction tracts of the cerebral cortex, cerebral subcortical basal nucleus, cerebellum, vestibular labyrinthine system, deep sense, etc., so that the human body can maintain a certain posture to properly complete voluntary movements and maintain balance.

Clinical manifestations of ataxia.

1.Infancy. Walking with unsteady gait and shaky limbs. Slowness of motor response and poor accuracy.

2.Medium term. Speech is slurred and the pitch cannot be controlled. If the eye movement is not smooth, the image is prone to "overlap". Muscle incoordination worsens, and it is impossible to write. Sometimes I feel that I have difficulty swallowing and I choke easily when eating.

3.Advanced. Speech is extremely unclear, and it is impossible to speak. Limb weakness, unable to stand, need to rely on a wheelchair to walk. The ability to comprehend gradually decreases, and finally loses consciousness and falls asleep.

Slackness, weakness, illness, itching.

The main symptoms of ataxia are as follows:

1. Balance disorder: the main manifestations are that the patient is unable to grasp balance during walking, walks swayingly, cannot walk in a straight line, has a wide distance between the feet, and walks like a drunken gait;

2. Coordination dysfunction: limbs will tremble, and the distance cannot be correctly distinguished. On examination, the patient will have symptoms of positive finger and nose test, and heel-knee-tibial test.

3. Abnormal pronunciation: the muscles of the articulatory organs of the brigade and articulation organs have coordination changes, that is, the coordination is abnormal. The patient's rhythm and rhythm may be abnormal, appearing as a poetic language, and the patient may speak as if reciting poetry;

4. Intention tremor: When the patient is holding something, he cannot distinguish the distance, which will cause tremor. This tremor becomes more severe the closer you get to the target.

The following symptoms may occur in the ataxia foci:

Clause. 1. Coordination dysfunction, such as the inability to distinguish the correct distance;

The first god of congratulations. 2. Balance is impaired, such as the inability to walk in a straight line;

Clause. 3. Limb tremors;

Clause. Fourth, there is an abnormal lobbying in pronunciation, such as speaking as if reading poetry aloud.

1. Sensory ataxia: As the name suggests, this type of ataxia is affected by the sensory system, and is greatly affected by position and vibration. The main manifestations are mild when the eyes are open and more severe when the eyes are closed, especially when walking at night, there will be obvious walking difficulties.

When walking, the eyes are fixed on the ground and the stride is wide.

2. Cerebellar ataxia: This is mainly caused by afferent and efferent fibrous lesions of the cerebellum, which will affect the balance of the human trunk, and patients often have symptoms such as unstable standing and abnormal rotational movement. Nystagmus, dysarthria, rough eating, and a peculiar cerebellar gait (i.e., walking with feet apart, different stride sizes, and unstable gait) are also common symptoms.

3. Vestibular ataxia: vestibular ataxia is caused by damage to the vestibular system, which will affect people's balance, whether it is at rest or in motion, it will make people have balance dysfunction, and it is easy to fall to the side or back when standing, and it is accompanied by obvious symptoms of vertigo.

4. Hereditary ataxia: This type of ataxia is usually manifested as a chronic disease of the central nervous system, usually with a genetic predisposition, accompanied by autosomal recessive or dominant inheritance, and the symptoms are mainly manifested in the spinal cord, cerebellum, brainstem, peripheral nerves, optic nerves and other parts.

Ataxia usually causes uncoordinated body movements, mainly manifested as unsteady walking, easy to fall and other symptoms, and cannot complete the actions of eating, buttoning, and writing on their own. In addition, the pronunciation and speed of speech may change, and there may be uncontrolled eye movements.

Ataxia symptoms are:

1. Cerebellar ataxia, characterized by unstable standing due to balance disorders in the trunk.

2. Vestibular ataxia, caused by damage to the vestibular system, is mainly caused by balance disorders.

Ataxia is the malfunction, imbalance or uncoordination of limb movements caused by diseases such as peripheral neuritis, cerebellar hemorrhage, and cerebral infarction, and is mainly manifested by the following symptoms. Ataxia can lead to a positive finger-nose test, which is characterized by a slight and slow movement of the finger and nose, and the finger is misdirected or adjusted to correctly point the target.

Ataxia also presents with a positive Achilles tendon-tibia test, damage to the cerebellum, and swaying of the body when lifting the leg and touching the knee. Ataxia also presents with imbalances in the speed, amplitude, and strength of voluntary movements, as well as impaired coordination. At the same time, it is accompanied by hypotonia, speech disorders, eye movement disorders, and some nystagmus, sensory ataxia, and the inability to distinguish the position and direction of movement of the limbs.

Symptoms of late hereditary ataxia are gait abnormalities, dysarthria, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and dysphagia.

1. Gait abnormality: Among the many early symptoms of hereditary ataxia, gait abnormality is the most common one.

In the early stages of the disease, patients will have significant unsteadiness in walking, and as the disease progresses, it may even be difficult for patients to maintain an upright sitting posture.

2. Dysarthria: As one of the main symptoms of hereditary ataxia in the early stage, the appearance of dysarthria, which will cause patients to have stiff pronunciation, slow speech, blurred speech, and intermittent speaking process.

3. Lack of concentration and concentration: hereditary ataxia has a certain impact on the cognitive function and mental state of patients, and in the early stage of the disease, most patients will have inattention, memory loss, mental disability, sleep disorders and other conditions in daily life.

4. Dysphagia: Affected by the disease, the patient's brainstem nerve nucleus will be damaged to a certain extent, so in the early stage of the disease, the patient will have symptoms of dysphagia, and a small number of people will also be accompanied by choking on drinking water.

Patients with hereditary ataxia should maintain an optimistic and happy mood, and long-term nervousness or pessimism will cause the balance of the excitatory and inhibitory processes of the cerebral cortex to be out of balance, so it is necessary to maintain a happy mood, otherwise the symptoms will be aggravated.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the combination of work and rest in daily life, it is best to have a regular daily life, develop good living habits, avoid smoking, avoid drinking bridge sparrow wine, eat a light and nutritious diet, and eat more vegetables, fruits, and milk. Eat foods rich in multiple amino acids as well as vitamins.
