What are the clinical manifestations of ataxia?

Ataxia presents with different clinical symptoms depending on the type. Cerebellar ataxia is characterized by unsteadiness in standing, widening the gait base when walking, swaying from side to side, unable to move forward in a straight line, and staggering, also known as drunken gait. Patients are unable to perform complex and delicate movements such as dressing, buttoning, etc.

Sensory ataxia, the patient has unsteadiness in standing, a cotton-like sensation when walking, and visual assistance can reduce the symptoms, so the patient's symptoms are aggravated in the dark, the symptoms are reduced when the eyes are opened, and the symptoms are difficult to stand with the eyes closed. Vestibular ataxia is characterized by unsteadiness in standing, tilting to the affected side when walking, inability to walk in a straight line, significant reduction in symptoms when lying down, and worsening symptoms after activity, often accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting.

Ataxia is observed through the patient's daily living actions, such as dressing, buttoning, holding water, writing, eating, speech, gait, etc. Unsteady walking, staggering gait, inflexible movements, legs wide apart when walking; In adults, they cannot walk in a straight line and sometimes sleep with constant tremors. Changes in muscle tone can change from decreased lesion to spasticity, and the ataxic gait can change to spastic ataxia.

Unsteady standing, leaning forward or swaying from side to side, more prominent when standing on tiptoe or heel, easy to fall is an early complaint of patients. As the disease progresses, patients may present with unsteady or impotent sit-up until they remain bedridden. A manifestation of a lack of order or coherence in movements, irregularity, confusion and incoordination. ”

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.

Ataxia is caused by many** in various parts of the nervous system. Any simple exercise must have the participation of four groups of muscles: active muscles, adversarial muscles, synergistic muscles and fixed muscles, and depends on the coordination and balance of the nervous system. At present, in addition to general support, acupuncture can be used, physical therapy and limb function exercises, as well as various B vitamins, citicoline, oral lecithin, etc., it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination to determine the condition in time**.

The early symptoms of ataxia are poor hands and feet, sometimes unclear speech, and eventually lead to displacement.

Ataxia typically manifests as unsteady gait, and the symptoms of ataxia vary depending on the location of the lesion. It is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1.Sensory ataxia. Mainly caused by injury to the posterior cord of the spinal cord, patients mainly present with abnormal kinesthetic and positional sensation, that is, the inability to distinguish the sense of direction of movement and the position of the limbs. At the same time, it is accompanied by unsteady standing and different severity.

2.Cerebellar ataxia. Mainly due to cerebellar lesions, the symptoms are mainly impaired movements, manifested by the rhythm and speed of movement, as well as the inability to control the strength and movement of the movement.

At the same time, it can also be accompanied by decreased muscle tone, speech coding disorder, eye movement disorder and other manifestations.

3.Vestibular ataxia. Mainly caused by vestibular lesions, patients mainly present with balance disorders, such as unsteady standing, inability to walk in a straight line, vomiting, vertigo, nystagmus, etc. Spring model reed.

Ataxia is a very common neurological symptom and is mainly seen in cerebellar lesions and vestibular system lesions. Clinical manifestations of ataxia include unsteady walking, which is a manifestation of truncal co-otaxia. In addition, patients may also have unsteady holding of things, such as not being able to accurately put food in the mouth when eating with their hands, which is a manifestation of limb attack and jury dissonance.

Ataxia requires a neurologist for related examinations, such as MRI of the skull.

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 main manifestations of ataxia are unsteady standing, widening the distance between the feet when walking, swaying from side to side, and not being able to walk in a straight line, which is called drunken gait, and can also occur as some incoordination of the hands of both hands to complete some fine movements, the feeling of stepping on cotton when walking, or standing unsteadily and leaning to one side, significantly reducing when lying down, and aggravating after activity, etc., are all symptoms of ataxia.

The clinical symptoms of ataxia are as follows:

1. Balance disorders: unable to grasp balance when walking, shaky walking, unable to walk in a straight line, wide distance between the feet, that is, drunken gait;

2. Coordination dysfunction: tremor of the limbs, unable to correctly distinguish the distance. Finger-nose test and heel-knee-shin test can be performed during examination;

3. Abnormal pronunciation: the muscle coordination function of the articulatory organ is poor, and the rhythm and rhythm are abnormal, which is called poetry-like language, and when speaking, it is like reading and reciting poetry;

4. Tremor: intentional tremor, that is, limb tremor, head and trunk tremor, especially nystagmus, can occur due to poor discernment distance when holding objects.

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 a positive finger and nose test, as well as a positive heel-knee-shin test;

3. Abnormal pronunciation: the muscles of the articulatory organs have changes in coordination, 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 will tremor because he cannot distinguish the distance. This tremor becomes more severe the closer you get to the target.

Spinocerebellar ataxia is the main type of inherited ataxia and is characterized by middle-aged onset, autosomal dominant inheritance, and ataxia. There are three phases of clinical manifestation: early, intermediate, and late.

Initially, it usually presents with unsteady gait, shaky limbs, sluggish motor reactions, and poor accuracy when walking. In the middle stage, the pronunciation is slurred when speaking, the inability to control the pitch, the eye movement is uneven, the image is easy to overlap, the muscle incoordination is aggravated, the inability to write, sometimes the swallowing difficulty is difficult, and the cough is easy to choke when eating. In the late stage, it is easy to speak extremely unclearly, or even unable to speak, weak limbs and unable to stand, need a wheelchair to walk, and gradually decline in comprehension, and finally lose consciousness of the limbs and fall unconscious.
