Hemiataxia

Tips from survivors: “I slow down and focus on each movement—it helps me stay more in control.”

Loss of coordination affecting one side of the body.

Clumsy or unsteady movements on one side, difficulty reaching accurately, trouble walking, or imbalance.

Stroke affects the cerebellum or its pathways on one side of the brain, disrupting coordination.

Uncommon, but seen in strokes involving the cerebellum or brainstem.

Physical and occupational therapy, coordination exercises, balance training, and assistive devices if needed.
