Cerebellar ataxia is a disorder of the cerebellum that results in inaccurate or unsteady movements. People with cerebellar ataxia may have difficulty controlling their gait. Cerebellar ataxia can be caused by genetic mutations, traumatic brain injuries, or neurodegenerative diseases. Treatment aims to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life through physiotherapy and supportive measures.
Causes/Description:
Genetics, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. spinal muscular atrophy), stroke or brain injury, certain medications (e.g. anticonvulsants), alcohol consumption, environmental factors (e.g. exposure to toxins), lifestyle factors (e.g. lack of exercise), age

disc prolapse
Cerebellar ataxia is caused by damage or dysfunction in the cerebellum, which is responsible for coordinating movements. This can be caused by genetic abnormalities, strokes, tumors or traumatic injuries. The impaired function of the cerebellum leads to impaired movement coordination and an unsteady gait.

Provide recommendations for exercises to improve coordination and balance, suggest lifestyle adjustments, and provide emotional support. Help comes from neurologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
disc prolapse
The study of cerebellar ataxias began in the 19th century when neurologists began studying the effects of cerebellar lesions on coordination. Discovery of the underlying causes of cerebellar ataxias was achieved through neurological examinations and imaging techniques.
