Ataxic Cerebral Palsy

Ataxic cerebral palsy is characterized by slack muscle tone and impaired coordination and balance. One of the less common manifestations of cerebral palsy, this type accounts 5-10% of cases. Individuals with ataxic cerebral palsy generally appear very shaky and unsteady. This shakiness looks similar to that displayed by some elderly people, and it is especially apparent when an individual is attempting to use fine motor skills. People with ataxic cerebral palsy may walk unsteadily because of poor balance. Children with ataxic cp may take significantly longer to complete some school assignments, due to coordination problems.
