Mechanism of Injury / Pathological Process
[edit | edit source]
Ataxia " is defined as an inability to generate a normal or expected voluntary movement trajectory that cannot be attributed to weakness or involuntary muscle activity about the affected joints.[1]
An important aspect of the cerebellum's function is highlighted by Justus et. al as"... memory processes required for associative learning and adapting of motor functions"[2] In addition, recent research has also shown the cerebellum's involvement in autonomic, emotional and even cognitive aspects of brain function.[3]
