Central ataxia, also known as cerebellar ataxia, arises due to dysfunction in the cerebellum, a brain region crucial for integrating sensory perception, coordination, and motor control. This condition manifests with neurological symptoms including:
Body or limb jerking or shaking during movement attempts
Reduced muscle tone
Impaired coordination among organs, muscles, limbs, or joints
Challenges controlling the precision, force, and speed of arm, hand, leg, or eye movements
