Y1 - 2020 N1 - T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 9e AB - Ataxia and gait disturbances may be symptoms of many disease processes and generally are not in themselves diagnoses. Ataxia is uncoordinated movement. A gait disorder is an abnormal pattern or style of walking. The presenting problem may be articulated by the patient or family as weakness, dizziness, stroke, falling, or another nonspecific chief complaint. Such symptoms must always be viewed in the context of the patient’s overall clinical picture. This chapter reviews the more common causes of acute ataxia and gait disorders (Table 169-1).
