What is dysmetry?
dysmetria is a lack of coordination of body movement, in which one seems to be above or underestimated by the distance of the eyes, hands or legs. The condition is often not only the engine dysfunction, but also cognitive. Hypermetry is a distance crossing, for example, when a person reaches further than intended, while hypometer is underdue distance.
Cerebellum is part of the brain responsible for motor coordination, and if it is damaged, it may be damaged, it may result in dysmetry. Cerebellum receives visual and spatial information from the eyes and sends corresponding information about the engines on the limbs. Dysmetrium is caused by lesions on the cerebellar or in the moser nerves and is often associated with other cognitive braid disorders, including such symptoms such as tongue deterioration and problems with considering and memories. Associated disorders include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), autism, carosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), multiple sclerosis (MS), schizophrenia andstroke.
Motor dysmetria occurs when a person is unable to interpret his limbs in space correctly. It is often characterized by the inability to perform quick movements or other coordinated limb movements. SACCADIC DYSMETRIA is characterized by abnormal eye movements, including the twitching of the eye while at rest. Eye dysmetry is characterized by problems with view and focus, above or underestimates the distance through the eyes.
The first step in diagnosis of dysmetry is usually a simple hand test to the nose in which the doctor holds his finger up in front of the patient, and the patient is asked to touch the doctor's finger and then his own nose several times. Similar tests can be used to explore the coordinated movement of the arms and feet. If such tests indicate motor problems, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to locate lesions in the brain and to profile a stronger diagnosis.
Since the dysmetria is a symptom, it can only be cured if the basic cause is cured. In most cases, a complete medicine is not possible. However, the condition can be managed through drugs such as isoniazide and clonazepam.
Further experimental treatment includes cannabis and chiropractic neurology. Research also examines the usefulness of the eye movement test, in which the patient is trained to practice movements with the eye before attempting physical movement. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help improve motor skills in patients suffering from multiple sclerosis.
