There is overshooting with finger to nose testing, and heel to shin testing; thus, dysmetria is evident.
12.
Midline cerebellar syndromes can cause ocular dysmetria, which is a condition in which the pupils of the eye overshoot.
13.
One paper restated that cerebellum neurological disorders were frequently found in schizophrenics and speculated hypoxia may cause the subsequent cognitive dysmetria
14.
Lesions to the cerebellum can cause dyssynergia, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, dysarthria, and ataxia of stance and gait.
15.
Oculomotor ataxia accompanies gait ataxia which causes dysarthria, muscle weakness, loss of joint position sense and limb dysmetria.
16.
The autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias ( ADCAs ) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by ataxia, dysarthria, dysmetria, and intention tremor.
17.
Dysmetria refers to a lack of coordination of movement, typified by the undershoot or overshoot of intended position with the hand, arm, leg, or eye.
18.
Disruption of APPGs is possibly the cause of ataxia and dysmetria and upon identification of the motor primitives, clinicians may be able to isolate the specific areas responsible for the cerebellar problems.
19.
A common motor syndrome that causes dysmetria is cerebellar motor syndrome, which also marked by impairments in gait ( also known as ataxia ), disordered eye movements, tremor, difficulty swallowing and poor articulation.
20.
There are a number of psychiatric disorders that are thought to be related to dysfunction of the cerebellum and that appear similar to symptoms of CCAS . Schmahmann s dysmetria of thought hypothesis has been applied to these psychiatric disorders.
