Cerebellar atrophy in an 80 year old man with wobbly walking is mainly considered to be a cerebellar lesion causing problems with the patient’s casual and ataxic movements. Rehabilitation therapy and nursing care can be provided.
1. Rehabilitation therapy: cerebellar atrophy and shaky walking are considered to be caused by ataxia problems, and balance function training can be carried out in the rehabilitation clinic, which has a certain effect on the improvement of symptoms.
2. Enhanced nursing care: cerebellar atrophy in 80-year-olds cannot be cured clinically, and the symptoms may gradually worsen with the progress of the disease. It is recommended to strengthen nursing care to avoid falling and trauma, and improve the patient’s self-care ability.
When walking instability is found, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital as soon as possible to improve the cranial CT or MRI and other examinations, and give symptomatic treatment.
