Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, my husband was hit on the head while at work, which has resulted in current ataxia. Every time I see him walk, he can't walk steadily, and I feel so heartbroken. I really want him to fully recover his previous physical condition. Could you please tell me if his condition can be completely restored?Doctor's answer:
The condition of your husband is likely cerebellar ataxia caused by trauma. It is recommended that the patient undergoes rehabilitation training in a regular hospital when the condition is stable. Alternatively, you can purchase orthotic devices to assist the patient in movement. The recovery period for rehabilitation training after brain damage is generally about 3 months. Therefore, it is advisable to consider rehabilitation training. Since the patient is not very old, a complete recovery may yield very good results.
