Are some people more prone to getting loss of coordination?

Dr. Larry Armstrong answered

Yes: There are progressive degenerative diseases of the cerebellum or those tracts from the cerebellum which can cause loss of coordination. There are also other causes such as tumor, trauma, infection, and others. A neurologist can help you sort these out.
