That is, spinal ataxia, caused by deep sensory deficits caused by damage to the posterior roots of the spinal cord. Vision can be compensated, so Romberg’s sign is positive, and the heel-knee-tibial test is unstable, along with impaired position and vibration perception of the lower extremities. It is seen in spinal cord lesions, peripheral neurotic mass, and Friedreich’s disorder.
