We present a working and flexible classification of inherited ataxic syndromes based on the use of simple tools available to every clinician: a good history (particularly pinpointing the age of onset, the rate of progression and the mode of inheritance) and a neurological examination (identifying the presence of ataxia, deep tendon reflexes in the knee, optic nerve, retinal and/or 8th nerve signs). This classification is easily coded for computer translation on any personal computer. The place occupied by a given disorder may, by contiguity, give a clue to its pathophysiology.
我们基于每位临床医生都可获得的简单工具，提出了一种实用且灵活的遗传性共济失调综合征分类方法：一份详尽的病史（尤其要明确发病年龄、进展速度和遗传方式）以及一次神经系统检查（确定是否存在共济失调、膝部深腱反射、视神经、视网膜和/或第8对脑神经体征）。这种分类方法易于在任何个人电脑上进行编码以便计算机翻译。某一特定病症所处的位置，通过相邻关系，可能会为其病理生理学提供线索。
