===Consequences of Cerebellar Pathology===
   −
 
+
* Cerebellar pathology can result in:
 
+
*# Hypermetria
 +
*# Unconsious proprioceptive deficits
 +
*# Increased motor tone on the side of the lesion (in assymetrical damage).
 +
*#* This gives head tilting AWAY from the damage.
 +
*#** "A paradoxical vestibular sign".
 +
* Damage to the cerebellum does NOT cause weakness.
