Knowing prefixes and suffixes for words helps you decipher the definition.

ataxia - Poor coordination and unsteadiness due to failure to regulate the body's posture, and strength and direction of limb movements. Often a consequence of a disorder in the cerebellum. The term "dystaxia" is a rarely used synonym.

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder, in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. The disorder may be hereditary or caused by other factors such as birth-related or other physical trauma, infection, poisoning (e.g., lead poisoning) or reaction to pharmaceutical drugs, particularly neuroleptics
