No question is a silly question. Cerebellar ataxia is a neuromuscular condition.

I find this interesting, my seven year old son was transferred from the neuromuscular team to the neuro team a few years ago, however his neuro consultant is a movement disorder specialist.

i'm confused as to why my son has had no input from the neuro muscular team ever. It's a question i will be asking his neurologists at next appointment. Whether or not it would have made any difference, i don't know.
