(Lateral hemispheres) Appendicular ataxia

Intention tremor

Coarse trembling

Accentuated over the execution of voluntary movements

Possibly involving head, eyes, limbs and torso

Peculiar writing abnormalities

Large, unequal letters

Irregular underlining

Peculiar Dysarthria

Slurred speech

characterized by explosive variations in voice intensity despite a regular rhythm

Dysdiadochokinesia

Inability to perform rapidly alternating movements which could involve rapidly switching from pronation to supination of the forearm.

Movements become more irregular with increases of speed.

Dysmetria

Hypometria or overshooting Hypermetria


Inability to judge distances or ranges of movement happens.

Rebound phenomenon

Loss of the check reflex

Schmahmann's syndrome

Patients may exhibit a constellation of subtle to overt cognitive symptoms

Dysfunction of the spinocerebellum

(Vermis and areas near the midline)

Truncal ataxia:
  • Uncertain starts and stops
  • Lateral deviations
  • Unequal steps
Vestibulocerebellum dysfunction

Flocculonodular lobe

  • Balance disturbances
  • Control of eye movements
  • Postural instability
  • Negative Romberg's test
