Frequent crashes to the ground have a variety of causes. Very often the cause of problem falls in the central nervous system.

The problem arises with balance disorders of the cerebellum. The cerebellum is an important center for integrative control voluntary movements, muscle tone and balance.

The failure of the cerebellum produces two basic types of cerebellar syndromes: paleocerebellar and neocerebellar syndrome. Paleocerebellar syndrome manifests fuselage ataxia – the patient is unable to stand with feet together, his gait is broad-based (similar to the clinical picture is found in intoxication – ebriety) – are characteristic pitch corrugation hull to cope gait disturbance-titubation.

Another cause of falls can be lesion balance system. Causal lesion may be bleeding, ischemia and the like. We divide them into peripheral and central vestibular syndrome. They differ in symptomatology. The striking dizziness rotary character – vertigo. Furthermore, there are rhythmic movements of the eyeballs – nystagmus. For peripheral syndrome patient falls to one side at a central falls in different directions. That is why they are called harmonious and dysharmonický. It is usually accompanied by dizziness and vomiting, these people are called emergency services.

In our latitudes is not 3. (nerve) stage syphilis common illnesses. Manifests damage posterior column (nerve pathways in the spinal cord) – tabes dorsalis – also manifests impaired balance and falls. Spinal ataxia have similar symptoms.

Spinal ataxia can be inherited (associated with disabilities spinal cord and cerebellum). An example is Friedreich ataxia, and others. Another cause may be Meniere’s disease (impaired hearing, tinnitus and severe balance disorder).

Falls to the ground are usually severe symptoms require hospitalization and determine the cause.During falls is necessary as soon as possible, consult a doctor.
