A member asked:

Had neurological exam done and could not balance while walking. is this a normal reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ataxia: Not being balanced while walking suggests an abnormality. Localizing the abnormality is a job for your doctor or a neurologist. You should have this checked out.
