Ataxia occurs in many neurological diseases, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases, or as a result of long-term excessive alcohol use. Treatment options for ataxia are ...

Stroke-related neurological changes can occur ... Identification of motor weakness and ataxia can alert the staff to fall risk (Spilker et al., 1997). Despite evidence that the NIHSS is valid ...

New Laser-Based Headset Can Measure Blood Flow, Assess Risk of Stroke Sep. 30, 2024 — Researchers have developed a laser-based device that can measure blood flow noninvasively and differentiate ...

Friedreich’s ataxia is a progressive neuromuscular disease that causes uncoordinated movement, muscle weakness, balance problems, impaired speech, and frequently, heart abnormalities.

Genetic analysis beyond the causative variants, and independent of the core clinical symptoms (pyramidal signs versus ataxia), might offer a more pertinent way to approach phenotypic variability.

Panelists discuss how the differential diagnosis for Friedreich's Ataxia involves distinguishing it from other ataxias, the process of definitive diagnosis through genetic testing, and the ...

This is a brief overview of classification in the sport and is in no way legally binding. In all cases the sport-specific classification rules will take precedence. For further questions please ...

Knowing the signs of a stroke is the first step in stroke prevention. A stroke, sometimes called a "brain attack," occurs when blood flow to an area in the brain is cut off. The brain cells ...

Disruptions of blood circulation to the brain may result in a stroke. It occurs in two forms, both potentially life-threatening. If you or someone with you exhibits signs of a stroke, do not delay.
