Sensory ataxia is a balance disorder caused by disruptions in sensory input and processing, often associated with peripheral neuropathy. It can be progressive and worsen with age. Treatment options depend on the root cause and may include medication, nerve stimulation, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. Sensory ataxia is a loss of balance associated with disruptions […]
