Several assumptions about the function of the cerebellum and semiotic signs have been described over the centuries. Among the long list of famous researchers who have provided a strong contribution and who have left their names on the highway of cerebellar research, Joseph Babinski appears as a prominent name. The description of various forms of cerebellar symptomatology was a major part of Babinski's work, and clinical terms that he introduced, namely hypermetry , diadochokinesia , and asynergy , remain part of contemporary clinical vocabulary. Babinski studied cerebellar signs in many patients and was able to conduct longitudinal studies that permitted him to understand the evolution of cerebellar dysfunction. Babinski contributions to cerebellar symptomatology continue to influence the most modern theories, including functional and neuropathological studies.
几个世纪以来，人们对小脑的功能和体征进行了多种假设。在众多为小脑研究做出巨大贡献并在小脑研究的道路上留下名字的著名研究者中，约瑟夫·巴宾斯基是一个杰出的名字。各种形式的小脑症状学描述是巴宾斯基工作的主要部分，他引入的临床术语，即辨距过度、轮替运动障碍和协同不能，仍然是当代临床词汇的一部分。巴宾斯基研究了许多患者的小脑体征，并能够进行纵向研究，从而使他能够了解小脑功能障碍的演变。巴宾斯基对小脑症状学的贡献继续影响着最现代的理论，包括功能和神经病理学研究。
