LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA (Gr. it, priv., and rit~ts, order; synonyms, Tabes dorsalis, posterior spinal sclerosis), a progressive degeneration of the nervous system, involving the posterior columns of the spinal cord with other structures, and causing muscular incoordination and disorder of gait and station. The essential symptoms of the diseasestansping gait, and swaying with the eyes shut, the occurrence of blindness and of small fixed pupilswere recognized by Romberg (1851), but it was the clinical genius of Duchenne and his masterly description of the symptoms which led to its acceptance as a definite disease (1858), and he named it locomotor ataxia after its most striking symptom, In 1869 Argyll Robertson discovered that the eye-pupil is inactive to light but acts upon accommodation in the great majorit) of cases. This most important sign is named the Argyl Robertson pupil.

Home Classic texts Journals Ellingwood's Therapeutist 1909 ... Ellingwood's Therapeutist. Editor: Finley Ellingwood M.D. - Vol. 3, Acute Locomotor Ataxia While locomotor ataxia usually develops slowly from gradually increasing causes in the cell structure of the spinal cord, there are cases which develop more or less abruptly with but few, if any, premonitory evidences. There is a variety due to cellular change in the structure of the brain, which produces disturbances of speech and psychical symptoms in addition to the ataxic phenomena. The commoner form is marked by the presence of various anesthesias and paresthesias without psychical complications. In either case paralysis may be absent or present. I have had under observation for seven or eight years a case which developed in the course of two or three days and at first was rapidly progressive in character. There might have been a psychic element involved in the cause of this case, as there was an operation performed on the rectum without an anesthetic and entirely unexpected and unannounced to the patient. The ataxic symptoms were quite fully developed within twelve hours after the operation and the patient was mentally depressed to an extreme degree. This case as stated progressed rapidly at first but the progress was finally retarded by treatment and the case assumed a chronic form. There are few cases that received a greater variety of treatment than this had, but I am bound to credit the action of the Roberts-Hawley lymph compound with stopping the progress of the disease and adding five or six years to the life of the patient. This preserved intact, also, the condition of the mind of the patient, enabling him to attend to the details of his business.

Home Classic texts Thomas The Eclectic Practice of Medicine by Rolla L. Thomas, M. S., M. D., 1907. Locomotor Ataxia. Synonyms Definition Syphilis bears a very important relation to tabes and is undoubtedly the most important of all predisposing causes. There is a history of syphilis in from seventy-five to ninety per cent of all tabetic cases. Thus Erb reports that eighty-nine per cent of three hundred cases in private practice, had a history of syphilis, while Mobius believes that tabes never exists without syphilis. Taylor Among the more common exciting causes may be mentioned sexual excesses, great physical exertion, and exposure to wet and cold. It is more common in cities than in the country. Pathology In some cases, trophic changes are seen in the bones, especially their articular surfaces. Symptoms Pains They last only for a second or two and may be associated with a burning sensation. Occasionally herpes develops at the seat of pain. These attacks occur irregularly, and are apt to follow excesses, cold, and damp weather. In a few cases pain is absent. Paresthesia The girdle pain, or sense of constriction about some part of the trunk, is not uncommon.
