peer agreement (net): +1(with) hemimotor deficit and hemiataxia Explanation: I was not able to locate any authoritative definition of hemimotor-hemiataxia. In one publication 'hemiparesis' is explicitly mentioned ('ataxic hemiparesis', as you suggested, yourself). Lacunar syndromes were divided into pure motor hemiparesis, pure sensory syndrome, ataxic hemiparesis, dysarthria clumsy hand syndrome, and sensorimotor syndrome. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/01.STR.000012736... Beside paresis/weakness, another publication included various motor symptoms under "hemimotor syndromes": The characteristics of motor deficit were facial and upper extremity weakness with increased deep tendon reflexes, clumsiness, and extensor plantar response in half of the patients. This type of motor deficit was termed “nonpyramidal hemimotor syndrome” by Caplan et al. to distinguish it from pyramidal pathway lesions that originated in the precentral area. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01.STR.30.1.100 Therefore, a more general term than paresis seems warranted, such as "hemimotor deficit and hemiataxia" or "hemilateral motor deficit & ataxia". |
