What functional region is represented
Spinocerebellum (vermis/paravermal regions)
A lesion in which functional region is most likely to result in intention tremor?
Spinocerebellum
A lesion in which functional region is most likely to result in finger ataxia?
Cerebrocerebellum
A lesion in which functional region is most likely to result in dysmetria?
Spinocerebellum
A lesion in which functional region is most likely to result in truncal ataxia?
Vestibulocerebellum
A lesion in which functional region is most likely to result in eye movement dysfunction?
Vestibulocerebellum
Which functional region helps coordinate precise, distal voluntary movement?
Cerebrocerebellum
Which functional region helps regulate equilibrium?
Vestibulocerebellum
Which functional region helps coordinate gross limb movement?
Spinocerebellum
Which of the cerebellar peduncles consists of cerebellar inputs from the cerebral cortex?
Middle Cerebellar Peduncle
Which of the cerebellar peduncles consists of cerebellar outputs to the cerebral cortex?
Superior Cerebellar Peduncle
Which of the cerebellar peduncles consists of cerebellar inputs from the brainstem and spinal cord AND outputs to the vestibular and reticular nuclei?
Inferior Cerebellar Peduncle
What test would you use to assess lower limb ataxia?
Heel to shin. (Can you demonstrate performing this?)
What test would you use to assess dysmetria?
Finger to nose. (Can you demonstrate performing this?)
What test would you use to assess gait ataxia?
Observation of tandem walking. (Can you demonstrate performing this?)
What test would you use to assess for dysdiadochokinesia?
Rapid alternating pronation/supination, toe-tapping, or finger/thumb tapping. (Can you demonstrate performing these?)
