Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar degeneration, termed as ataxia is a neurological disorder of central nervous system, characterized by limb in-coordination and a progressive gait. The patient also demonstrates specific symptoms of muscle weakness, slurring of speech, and decreased vibration senses.
