Gait Ataxia is evaluated in the context of the patient's full neurologic, vestibular, medication, and cardiovascular history. Symptoms can overlap with several balance and neurologic disorders, so the goal is to identify the pattern driving the patient's dizziness, weakness, sensory change, imbalance, or related symptoms.
How we evaluate it
Evaluation starts with a detailed history, a medication review, and a neurologic examination. Additional testing is chosen based on your symptoms and exam findings.

Care approach
Care plans are individualized. The practice combines detailed history, bedside examination, and targeted testing to decide whether treatment should focus on vestibular rehabilitation, migraine or medication management, canalith repositioning, cardiovascular coordination, neurologic treatment, or additional specialty referral.
