Limb Ataxia

Tips from survivors: “Moving slowly and focusing on the target helps me keep my movements under control.”

Loss of coordination affecting the arms or legs.

Clumsy or inaccurate movements, difficulty reaching for objects, overshooting a target, or trouble controlling the direction and timing of movements.

Stroke affects the cerebellum or its neural pathways, which are responsible for coordinating precise movements.

Physical and occupational therapy, coordination exercises, and practicing controlled movements.

Uncommon overall, but more likely in strokes involving the cerebellum or brainstem.
