Answer 1

Damage to the cerebellum will cause the individual to appear clumsy and uncoordinated.

What happens if the cerebellum is damaged?

The coordination of voluntary motor action, balance and equilibrium, and muscle tone are all functions of the cerebellum. It is situated toward the rear of the brain, just above the brain stem. Compared to the frontal and temporal lobes and the brain stem, it is relatively trauma-resistant.

Slow and uncoordinated motions are the outcome of cerebellar damage. When walking, people with cerebellar abnormalities frequently sway and stumble.

A cerebellar injury can cause the following symptoms:

1. loss of coordination of motor movement (asynergia)
2. inability to judge distance and when to stop (dysmetria)
3. inability to perform rapid alternating movements (adiadochokinesia)
4. movement tremors (intention tremor)
5. staggering, wide-based walking (ataxic gait)
6. tendency to fall
7. weak muscles (hypotonia)
8. slur (nystagmus)
