Descriptor Spanish: Ataxia Cerebelosa
Descriptor ataxia cerebelosa
Entry term(s) adiadococinesia
adiadocoquinesia
dismetría
dismetría cerebelosa
Scope note: Incoordinación de los movimientos voluntarios que ocurre como manifestación de ENFERMEDADES DEL CEREBELO. Entre los elementos característicos se incluyen una tendencia a que los movimientos de las extremidades sobrepasen o no alcancen el objetivo (dismetría), temblor que ocurre durante el período en que se intenta realizar el movimiento (TEMBLOR intencional), trastornos de la fuerza y del ritmo de los movimientos rápidos alternantes (adiadococinesia), y ATAXIA DE LA MARCHA.

Scope note: Incoordination of voluntary movements that occur as a manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES. Characteristic features include a tendency for limb movements to overshoot or undershoot a target (dysmetria), a tremor that occurs during attempted movements (intention TREMOR), impaired force and rhythm of diadochokinesis (rapidly alternating movements), and GAIT ATAXIA. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p90)
