What is a characteristic symptom of ataxia?

  1. Rapid eye movement

  2. Lack of muscle control

  3. Increased muscle tone

  4. Delayed speech development

The correct answer is: Lack of muscle control

Ataxia is a neurological disorder that affects the ability to control muscle movement. This is why lack of muscle control is a characteristic symptom of ataxia. None of the other options listed are associated with ataxia. Rapid eye movement, also known as REM, is a normal part of the sleep cycle and is not related to ataxia. Increased muscle tone, or stiffness, is associated with conditions such as spastic cerebral palsy, but not ataxia. Delayed speech development is a symptom of various speech and language disorders, but it is not a characteristic symptom of ataxia.
