متن کاملGait in patients with cerebellar ataxia.
The gait pattern in 10 patients with cerebellar degenerations was studied and the results were compared with 10 matched normal subjects, seeking the principal patterns in this disorder. Gait at natural speed was studied in a biomechanics laboratory using a video-based kinematic data acquisition system for measuring body movements. Patients showed a reduced step and stride length with a trend to...
