Entry term(s) ataxia motora
ataxia sensitiva
deficiencia de la coordinación
descoordinación
disinergia
trastorno de la coordinación
Scope note: Trastorno en la capacidad para realizar movimientos coordinados voluntarios finos. Esta afección puede afectar a las extremidades, tronco, ojos, faringe, laringe y otras estructuras. La ataxia puede producirse por dificultades sensitivas o de la función motora. La ataxia sensitiva puede ser resultado de lesiones de los cordones posteriores o de ENFERMEDADES DE LOS NERVIOS PERIFÉRICOS. La ataxia motora puede estar asociada a ENFERMEDADES CEREBELOSAS, enfermedades de la CORTEZA CEREBRAL, ENFERMEDADES TALÁMICAS, ENFERMEDADES DE LOS GANGLIOS BASALES, lesiones del NÚCLEO ROJO y otras afecciones.

Scope note: Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures. Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES. Motor ataxia may be associated with CEREBELLAR DISEASES; CEREBRAL CORTEX diseases; THALAMIC DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; injury to the RED NUCLEUS; and other conditions.
