Some people report gait problems or ataxia.
Ataxia affects coordination and balance in movement. It can cause symptoms such as unsteady gait, clumsiness, and difficulty with fine motor tasks. Ataxia can be caused by various underlying conditions affecting the nerves and brain.
It could create ataxia, which would give a person a staggering, or stumbling, gait.
Common symptoms include headaches , vomiting, gait disturbances, and ataxia , especially when the cerebellum is involved.
The most common early symptom of OPCA is ataxia, or incoordination, which may be observed in an unsteady gait or over-reaching for an object with the hand.
An auto-immune disease, similar to MS in humans. The sheath covering the nerves is gradually destroyed. Symptoms may include knuckling the back paws, ataxia and an obvious un-natural gait.

Individuals with AS have a balance disorder, causing unstable and jerky movements. This typically includes gait ataxia (a slow, unbalanced way of walking) and tremulous movements of the limbs.
Cerebellar ataxia (brain-damage-related loss of motor coordination) can also occur with Refsum disease, leading to an unsteady gait.
Ataxia is characterized by a lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements, leading to unsteady and clumsy motions. Individuals with ataxia may experience difficulties with balance, gait, and fine motor skills, often resulting in an unsteady walk or trouble with tasks that require precise hand movements. Other symptoms may include speech difficulties (dysarthria) and abnormal eye movements (nystagmus). Ataxia can be caused by various factors, including neurological disorders, genetic conditions, or damage to the cerebellum.
The condition described is likely ataxia, which is characterized by uncoordinated movements, including a slow and tentative gait. The inability to touch her finger to her nose with eyes closed suggests a loss of proprioceptive feedback, commonly seen in cerebellar dysfunction. Ataxia can be caused by various factors, including neurological disorders, alcohol intoxication, or vitamin deficiencies.
ATAXIA is not a medical abbreviation but rather a term used to describe a lack of coordination of muscle movements. It can result from various conditions affecting the cerebellum, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. Symptoms may include unsteady gait, difficulty with fine motor tasks, and problems with balance. The term itself comes from the Greek word "ataxis," meaning "lack of order."
It is a germ that infects part of the brain , the germ was found out by James Parkinson, and it is named after his work.the patients start with a tremor of the hand , and then it starts shaking more violently.
