   Ataxia is a neurological condition characterized by a lack of muscle control or coordination of voluntary movements, such as walking or picking up objects. It can result from a variety of underlying conditions, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, tumor, alcohol abuse, peripheral neuropathy, metabolic disorders, and certain vitamin deficiencies. Symptoms can include poor coordination, unsteady walk, difficulty speaking or swallowing, and changes in speech. There is no specific treatment for ataxia, but physical therapy, speech therapy, and medication may help manage symptoms.
