The cerebellum is a large part of the brain that controls coordination of muscles and maintainence of equilibrium (balance). It's situated between the brain stem and the back of the cerebrum. Damage to the cerebellum from infarction (stroke), tumors, disease, etc. can cause an inability to control motor function and inability to walk.
