Abstract

Thirty-five patients with vestibular (25) and cerebellar (10) ataxy were medicated by betacerc during 21 days. A status of balance function was estimated, using stabilometric complex MBN "Biomechanika", before and after the treatment course. After the end of the treatment, symptoms of static ataxy and vertigo were reduced. An analysis of stabilogramm has confirmed a tendency to normalization of static balance parameters as a result of betacerc treatment of vestibular and cerebella types of ataxy, with significant decrease of general length of the way, area of support and velocity of gravity center displacement.
