A disorder of muscle coordination and control, causing awkward or uncoordinated movements and poor balance.
From Greek 'dys-' (bad/difficult) + 'taxis' (order/arrangement). The term describes when the body's arrangement of muscular coordination falls into disorder.
Dystaxia is closely related to ataxia, but 'dystaxia' suggests a partial or mild problem with coordination, while 'ataxia' is the complete inability—it's the difference between being clumsy and being unable to stand.
