Acute cerebellar ataxia.
Acute cerebellar ataxia occurring in childhood is a definite clear-cut syndrome, yet only three cases appear to have been reported in the British literature (Batten, 1907; Taylor, 1913), although more recently cases with similar features have been included in wider surveys on encephalitis by Brewis (1954) and on ataxia by Shanks (1950). Typically the clinical picture is characterized by the sud...
متن کاملA case of Cerebellar Ataxia
The patient denied any headaches, vertigo, weakness, confusion, bowel or bladder dysfunction and the unsteadiness was independent of position. Bowel movements were normal and he reported no other symptoms of abdominal pathology. The patient drank on average 10 units of alcohol a week and reported no recent increase in consumption. He was a life-long non-smoker, and denied any recent symptoms of...
متن کاملRobotic Compensation of Cerebellar Ataxia
The cerebellum is believed to play a role in dynamic compensation in the human motor control system. When it is damaged, subjects make clumsy movements with reduced acceleration, increased overshoot, and swerving in multi-joint movements. These errors, which are referred to clinically as ataxia, are consistent with failing to compensate for the dynamics of the body, especially its inertia durin...
متن کاملContribution of Somatic and Dendritic SK Channels in the Firing Rate of Deep Cerebellar Nuclei: Implication in Cerebellar Ataxia
Introduction: Loss of inhibitory output from Purkinje cells leads to hyperexcitability of the Deep Cerebellar Nuclei (DCN), which results in cerebellar ataxia. Also, inhibition of small-conductancecalcium-activated potassium (SK) channel increases firing rate f DCN, which could cause cerebellar ataxia. Therefore, SK channel activators can be effective in reducing the symptoms of this disease, ...
متن کاملLocomotor patterns in cerebellar ataxia.
Several studies have demonstrated how cerebellar ataxia (CA) affects gait, resulting in deficits in multijoint coordination and stability. Nevertheless, how lesions of cerebellum influence the locomotor muscle pattern generation is still unclear. To better understand the effects of CA on locomotor output, here we investigated the idiosyncratic features of the spatiotemporal structure of leg mus...
