🧠 You NEED to know these cerebellar terms before your boards

If you’re in PTA or PT school and you’ve ever blanked on the difference between ataxia and dysmetria — this one’s for you. The cerebellum controls coordination, balance, and smooth movement, and when it breaks down, the signs show up EVERYWHERE. We’re talking how your patient walks, talks, swallows, and even moves their eyes. 👀

Knowing these 10 terms cold will make you a better clinician AND save you on the NPTE. Swipe through, save it, and run through them before your next neuro lecture. 📚

Here’s what we cover:
🔹 Ataxia
🔹 Dysmetria
🔹 Dysdiadochokinesia
🔹 Dysarthria
🔹 Intention Tremor
🔹 Nystagmus
🔹 Hypotonia
🔹 Asynergy
🔹 Titubation
🔹 Dysphagia

Drop a 🧠 in the comments if your neuro exam is coming up — I got you.
