Disorders of cerebellar function/Repetitorium

Disorders of the cerebellum
Presumed concepts: functions of individual parts of the cerebellum

A flag file
 * ataxia: disorder of standing, walking and maintaining balance;
 * asynergy: disorder of coordination of distant muscle groups;
 * dysmetria: goal pursuit;
 * adiadochokinesia: inability to perform rapid alternating movements, eg supination/pronation;
 * intention tremor : shaking during targeted  movements (as opposed to resting tremor);
 * muscle hypotonia: passivity.

Paleocerebellar syndrome
Disorder of the central parts of the cerebellum
 * affects axial and proximal limb muscles;
 * disorders of standing, walking, balance; asynergy.

Neocerebellar syndrome
Disorder of the lateral parts (hemispheres) of the cerebellum
 * affects the distal muscles of the limbs and fine motor skills;
 * dysmetria, hypotonia, adiadochokinesia, intention tremor.
