Cerebellar ataxia

[victorkwee]

Thank you for sharing, excellent case presentation that will help young doctors better themselves

[braindrain52389]

um

[zahrasuhardi]

thanks for sharing, i really appreciate this :)

anyway, i have a question:

is this what they call "cerebellar ataxia isolated"?

this phrase keep on appearing in textbooks i read, so i figured it's the same thing with the case in this video because only one particular part that doesn't function normally.

anyone?

@IkkyKyZ learn to read numbers

The comments below should fight somewhere else. Ataxia is a serious condition

[lihnlihn]

Another test is the knee swinging test where my knee didn't swing at all. My coordination kinda sucks, I drop things frequently, and when I just stand there like every other normal day I lean to different sides and sometimes even fall over when I'm perfectly standing so I have to catch myself. But maybe I'm just clumsy or my cerebellar is a little messed up, I doubt it's ataxia since ataxia is rare.

[topideau]

The young man in this video is exactly like me. I've had it all my life and it gets worse with age. My father and grandfather had it before me (familial tremor). It is hard to

find a neurologist who knows much about it. If you think this is funny, try shaving with a blade while your arm is being jerked around. If you have this, ask your doctor about PRIMADONE. It may help. There is also surgery for this but it's scary.

@bigpat786

Thanks for your suggestion. I have never tried wrist weights but will.

[raleightodd]

@topideau Actually, although the tremor at the end of his trajectory is similar to what you may experience with essential tremor (a disorder benign inherited tremor with various active intentional movements), the cause of the tremor demonstrated in this video is due to a different cause and may not respond to the medication that you have suggested. Surgery is reserved for cases that are not significantly alleviated by medication and continues to cause impairment to a person's daily life.

very helpful! Thank you for sharing!

[nowhere2hyde4ms]

I wanted to add that I agree that comments should either be moderated or disabled. There is no excuse for some one to make jokes about this serious disorder. If only they knew.

[nowhere2hyde4ms]

This video was very helpful. I was diagnosed with MS 5 years ago and had since overheard my physician dictating notes that I showed intention tremors. I know what it meant just by the name and the part of the exam he referred to,but I wasn't

[quasheer100]

is there treatment

[JamesBonedOO7]

@quasheer100 no

[slumby]

Now I can call it by it's scientific name (I have MS), not just "shaky bones" or tremor... THANK YOU

[mrgenericbrand]

I love this guy's Jeffrey Dahmer costume. Oh...wait...you mean it's not a costume? My bad.

[pillit1]

[MrWesley3000]

Dude were all a little loopy! I have dislecia i have to think everything backwards so that it comes out right....

Me and this guy would make a great team...

[cedriccuthbert]

I recently discovered that my uncle was diagnosed with this condition. I have not seem him for a few years. I am grateful to YouTube for letting me understand more about this condition.

[fantasfootballzone]

BoyBrainiac , you may not believe in God now, but you will when it is too late. You need to change your thinking. do you think that a car was just formed out of a big smash? no there was an engineer who designed it. I live with ataxia and its effects daily. There is no cure for the disorder. May god give us all strength

[BoyBrainiac]

Are you comparing a car to the universe? That is a laughable comparison. You are free to believe what you want. I only debate about testable claims. I personally do not believe in a god, because there is no proof of ones existence and I prefer to believe that we are here because of natural reasons. If you believe that a creator exists, then what do you think created the creator?

[abdulazizmak]

having differente opinions about things doesn't mean that we are enemies...

but we are friends who have problem in understanding each other or understanding things in human nature or religious things even if we don't really know each other...

[abdulazizmak]

we have to be so greatfull...

those patients with cerebellar problems are suffering all the time...

god help them...

thanks for the video ..

[BoyBrainiac]

There is no god. Science and medicine help them.

[abdulazizmak]

what did medicine and science do to those patients???

medicine just made it easier for them to control the invoulantory movements for a while but there is no permenant cure for that disease yet...

so, if you don't belive in god then that's your problem not mine... some people out there still belive in god and still hope that he will give us mercy... I'm one of them.

[BoyBrainiac]

They are being helped by medicine that is created due to science. God is a made up idea by people, and religion has slowed the progression of science and their cures throughout the last two millenia. So it is your problem as well considering how much time we have lost in progressing our technology and medicine due to beliefs like yours. Perhaps if people stopped believing in a deity hundreds of years ago rather than now, these people would have been cured long ago.

[abdulazizmak]

every person has his own ideas about religion... or if he belives in god or not...

but from your words you said that those people who don't belive in god they do better in discovering things and medicine is one of these thing. then you must be a scientest now... right???

who are you??? a doctor?? a professor??? what did you discover ??? a cure for this problem??? if your talk is right then you must be a noble prize winner. whech I doupt.

religion and science are not seperate...

[abdulazizmak]

forget every thing about what we talked about in the previous replies.. amd answer the question that I asked before....

and do not talk too much.... answer the question and you'll find that you are just saying bulshits...

we belived in god so we were late in discovering things... you don't belive in god..you are free now... what did you discover???

[BoyBrainiac]

You are using a "straw man" argument by saying that I said people who don't believe in God discover more things. I never said that. I said that religion slows down the progression of science. That is two completely different things.

I have Ataxia from a stroke that happened two years ago. From doing daily exercise, it IS getting better. You never stop improving with a hemmorage, I know from personal experience. Thanks for posting this - it is hard finding people who have symptoms of ataxia

[SPOROO19]

Thanks for sharing, I needed a laugh.

[aceshigh8080]

Thanks for posting this video. I wasn't sure what intention tremor was, and I was scared I had one for a while, but this cleared that up. Thanks.
