This information is incorrect. If a patient has paresis or weakness in an extremity, you do not automatically assign a 1 for ataxia in that limb. The ataxia must be present to a degree greater than the weakness in the extremity.
What the heck??? This is SO wrong. So frustrating to try and find accurate information on Ataxia. It’s CLEAR that if the pt is paralyzed or weak you don’t count that as ataxia!!!
The finger-nose-finger and heel-shin tests are performed on both sides, and ataxia is scored only if present out of proportion to weakness. This video is incorrect. Please don't score ataxia points for limbs that are expressing weakness or paralysis. If the person was able to hold their arm up and had good strength, but was uncoordinated with their movement then they would be scored points for ataxia.

You the right side is paralyzed so its still scored at zero

right. i feel like i'm never going to figure out what ataxia is
The best demonstration of limb ataxia so far. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you for the video, trying to do my NIH stroke scale certification and now I understand the ataxia section.
This video is incorrect
You can’t score ataxia on limbs with paresis
Ataxia is ONLY scored when present. You have presented this information 100% incorrectly
Good demonstration
Take this video down. It isn’t correct!
Atacia video is NOT correct. Only gets a 1 if she is disproportionate to weakness
This video is not a good demo at all. Too many mistakes
this is wrong! u score weakness as zero.
Sorry but this video is not right
Totally wrong in demonstration. Do Not Use.
