Ataxia is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements that includes gait abnormality. Ataxia is a non-specific clinical manifestation implying dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum. Ataxia can be limited to one side of the body, which is referred to as hemiataxia. Several possible causes exist for these patterns of neurological dysfunction.
Difficulty with walking is the most common initial symptom of the condition. Many people with this condition also have some form of heart disease. Approximately 75 percent of people with Friedreichâs ataxia have heart abnormalities. The most common type is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a thickening of the heart muscle. The symptoms of heart disease include heart palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Friedreichâs ataxia can eventually lead to diabetes.
