Testing the Spinocerebellar Pathways

Though we know about the importance of the neck and gait function, like where we discussed here and here, we cannot leave out the integrity of the spincerebellar pathways. Can you test them and discern their functions? This quick video demonstrates how. Some great clinical pearls in this short segment.

Did you know that the posterior spinocerebellar tract is essential for normal gait? It receives information from ALL muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs and joint mechanoreceptors and coordinates them not only with the cerebellum but also with the vestibular system. Abnormalities within this system are present (but perhaps not apparent) all gait pathologies.

In conjunction with the latest PODcast talking about efferent copy, we thought it appropriate to talk about the cerebellum here. In this capsule we talk about the efferent pathways

Enjoy! and have a nice weekend (not that we are telling you what to do…)
