Description

Evidence from functional neuroimaging and neuropsychological assessments of patients with cerebellar disorders that have been accumulated over the past few years, indicate that the cerebellum is not only associated with the　sensorimotor function but also plays a role in cognition and emotional processing. These symptoms were termed as“ cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome（CCAS）” by Schmahmann. Although CCAS limits the social participation of patients, its specific characteristics remain unclear. In order to develop interventions, a communication disorder in patients with CCAS was investigated. As a result of the investigation, we identified that the communication disorder in patients with CCAS was mainly caused and influenced by impaired cognitive function especially“dysmetria of thought”.
