Poor muscle control that results in clumsy involuntary movements is called Ataxia. SCA refers to a group of ataxias that are Hereditary (caused by either a recessive or dominant gene) Known to cause harm to the cerebellum There are 40 types of SCA discovered so far.

Spinocerebellar Ataxia, also known as spinocerebellar atrophy, or spinocerebellar degeneration is a genetic disease caused by either a recessive or dominant gene. It refers to a group of ataxias that are known to be hereditary and cause harm to the cerebellum, the part of the brain which maintains balance and controls movements. Spinocerebellar Ataxia may result in non-coordinated gait, impaired hand-eye coordination, and abnormal speech. Because this condition affects the nervous system, it is also referred to as a nervous disorder. Spinocerebellar Ataxia has no cure, but can be managed with a tailored Ataxia treatment program that includes Stem Cell Therapy.

A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function, such as mobility and/or feeling. Frequent causes of spinal cord injuries are trauma (car accident, gunshot, falls, etc.) or disease (polio, spina bifida, Friedreich's ataxia, etc.).

Toluene is an utilized as paint, enamel more slender, or a coloring specialist. It is additionally found in energizes. Since toluene is additionally part of the paste utilized by paint huffers, it has been proposed as a potential reason for the neurotoxic disorder saw in these people. Albeit like the neurobehavioral changes of benzene-actuated lethal impacts, those of toluene poisonous quality are more serious. Intense introduction causes weariness, gentle disarray, ataxia, and discombobulation. Perpetual utilize is related with happiness, disinhibition, and tremor. Neurobehavioral impacts incorporate reductions in execution IQ, memory anomalies, poor engine control, diminished visuospatial working, and dementia. Treatment comprises of expulsion from the wellspring of toluene introduction.
