Coordination of movements is given to a person so that he can perform clear movements and manage them.
If there is a lack of coordination, this indicates changes in the CNS. Our central nervous system is a complex, interconnected formation of nerve cells located in the spinal cord and brain. When we want to make any movement, the brain sends a signal, and in response to it, the limbs, the trunk or other parts of the body begin to move. If the CNS works unreasonably, if deviations occur in it, the signal does not reach the target or is transmitted in a distorted form.
The reasons for the violation of coordination of movement there are many. This includes the following factors:.
physical exhaustion of the body;.
exposure to alcohol-containing, narcotic and other poisonous substances;.
brain trauma;.
sclerotic changes;.
musculoskeletal dystrophy;.
Parkinsonism;.
stroke;.
Catalepsy is a rare phenomenon in which the musculature is weakened by an explosion of emotions, say anger or rapture.
Violation of coordination is considered dangerous for human deviations, because in this state, nothing is worth getting hurt.
Often, it accompanies old age, as well as neurological diseases, a vivid example of which in this case is a stroke.
Violation of coordination of movements occurs in diseases of the musculoskeletal system (with poor coordination of muscles, weakness in the musculature of the lower limbs, and t. ) If you look at such a patient, it becomes apparent that it is difficult for him to maintain a vertical position, to walk. People with such ailments are moving uncertainly, movements are seen looseness, too much amplitude, inconsistency. Trying to outline an imaginary circle in the air, a person faces a problem - instead of a circle, he gets a broken line, a zigzag. Another test for impairment of coordination is that the patient is asked to touch the tip of the nose, and it is also befallen. Looking at the handwriting of the patient, you will also see that with muscle control he is not all right, as the letters and lines creep on each other, become uneven, sloppy.
There are the following manifestations of impaired coordination of movements:.
tremor - trembling of the hands or head. There is a strong and almost imperceptible tremor. In some patients, it begins only during the movement, while others - only when they are immobile. With great anxiety, tremor grows;.
shaky, uneven movements. With a weakening of the musculature, the limb's body does not receive a sufficient basis for movements. The patient steps unevenly, intermittently, the steps have different lengths, it staggers;.
ataxia - is caused by damage to the frontal parts of the brain, cerebellum, nerve fibers that transmit the signal through the channels of the spinal cord and brain. Doctors distinguish static and dynamic ataxia. With static ataxia, a person can not maintain equilibrium in a standing position, with a dynamic ataxia it is difficult to balance the movement.
Violation of the coordination of movement can occur with the following conditions and ailments:.
dystrophy;.
Parkinsonism;.
stroke;.
catalepsy;.
senile changes in the body;.
alcoholic or other intoxication.
If you notice in yourself or someone close to the symptoms described above, you should contact one of the following specialists:.
the neuropathologist;.
cardiologist;.
toxicologist.
