Ataxic cerebral palsy
This form of cerebral palsy is characterised by low muscle tone and poor coordination of movements. Children with ataxic cerebral palsy look very unsteady and shaky. This rare form of cerebral palsy affects the sense of balance and depth perception. Affected persons often have poor coordination and walk unsteadily with a wide based gait, placing their feet unusually far apart. They have a lot of shakiness, especially when they are trying to handle or hold a small object such as a pen.
