Symptoms You Have Damages to Your Cerebellum
Even though the cerebellum was originally thought to have lesser importance in TBI research, there is a growing body of evidence to implicate TBI in cerebellum injury. The basic analysis of the cerebellum reveals that it processes input from other areas of the brain and nervous system to provide timing and coordination to produce smooth movements of the skeletal muscular system. The cerebellum is also responsible for orienting the body and parts of the body in space.
If your cerebellum is damaged from an accident, a washington dc head injury attorney can help you determine what compensation you are entitled to.
Traumatic Brain Injury can sometimes result in injury to the cerebellum, which can result in symptoms such as:
Compromised Proprioception
-Tremors
-Dizziness
-Balance
Ataxia
-Loss of ability to walk
-Inability to make rapid movements
-Inability to estimate distance
-Inability to reach out and grab objects
-Loss of ability to coordinate fine movements
-Slurred Speech
-Muscle coordination problems
Cerebellum injuries can be devastating to everyone involved. New therapeutic approaches based in neuroscience and advanced case management techniques are being made in their treatment. These approaches recognize the chronic nature of traumatic brain injury, and facilitate planning for the future. They also have a strong emphasis on cognitive rehabilitation and behavioral analysis and planning with special attention to be paid to common problems encountered during the rehabilitative process, including pain, mobility dysfunction, impaired postural control and balance, cerebellum dysfunction, and sensory deficits.
The best treatment is predicated on the understanding that each individual with a brain injury is unique and needs to be treated that way.
