Type: article

Abstract: The abuse of alcoholic beverages and the consequences of its impact on the internal organs and nervous system, remains an urgent medical and social problem for our country for a long time. Alcoholism has an extremely negative effect on the functioning of the cerebellar system, causing dynamic and static-locomotor ataxia and damage to the peripheral nervous system, which aggravates the impaired function of walking and coordination. Due to the concomitant emotional and cognitive disorders, age-related features in individuals suffering from alcoholism, the diagnosis of clinical manifestations of ataxia and comorbid cerebral, visceral pathology has a number of features that need to be considered for the diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
