Ataxic Cerebral Palsy
Ataxia - Jerky, uncoordinated
movements.
Low muscle tone and poor coordination of movements is described as
ataxic cerebral palsy.
People with ataxic cerebral palsy have problems with balance and depth
perception. They might be unsteady when they walk. They might have a
hard time with quick movements or movements that need a lot of control,
like writing. They might have a hard time controlling their hands or
arms when they reach for something. People with ataxic cerebral palsy
can have increased or decreased muscle tone. Five to ten percent of
people with cerebral palsy have ataxia.
Children with ataxic cerebral palsy may appear unsteady and shaky. They
may appear to have tremors, especially when they are trying to do
something like write or turn a page or cut with scissors. They also
often have very poor balance and may be very unsteady when they walk.
Because of the shaky movements and problems coordinating their muscles,
kids with ataxic CP may take longer to finish writing or art projects.
