dysdiadochokinesia

Average rate can be used as a measure of performance when testing for dysdiadochokinesia.

Loss of ability (dysdiadochokinesia) is characteristic of cerebellar diseases.

Impairments with alternating movements (dysdiadochokinesia), as well as dysrhythmia, may also be displayed.

Lesions to the cerebellum can cause dyssynergia, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, dysarthria, and ataxia of stance and gait.

Individuals with cerebellar ataxia could also display instability of gait, difficulty with eye movements, dysarthria, dysphagia, hypotonia, dysmetria and dysdiadochokinesia.

Dysdiadochokinesia often presents in motor speech disorders (dysarthria), therefore testing for dysdiadochokinesia can be used for a differential diagnosis.

The most common ataxia's dyschronometria has been seem to be evident with are dyssynergia, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, dysarthria as well as the ataxia's effecting stance and gait.

When testing for dysdiadochokinesia with speech the patient is asked to repeat syllables such as /pə/, /tə/, and /kə/; variation, excess loudness, and irregular articular breakdown are signs of dysdiadochokinesia.
