“Others walk straight without thinking and I wish to walk like that, but my legs won’t listen. People hold a glass, write, or eat with steady hands, while mine tremble even for the simplest task. Friends talk smoothly, but my words come out slow and slurred, and they think I’m clumsy or careless. What feels effortless for others becomes a daily battle for me — every step, every movement, every word.”
Ataxia is a group of neurological disorders that affect coordination, balance, and speech due to damage in the cerebellum or related pathways. It can be genetic, acquired, or progressive, and it impacts physical, emotional, and social well-being.
Symptoms – “BALANCE”
B - Balance problems, frequent falls
A - Awkward or unsteady walking
L - Lack of coordination in hands and feet
A - Abnormal speech (slurred, slow)
N - Nystagmus (abnormal eye movements)
C - Clumsiness with daily tasks
E - Emotional frustration due to loss of independence
When to Seek Expert Care?
Rehabilitation should begin as soon as ataxia is diagnosed - even in mild or early stages. Early therapy improves coordination, prevents secondary complications, and helps maintain independence for as long as possible.
