Answer:
A superficial injury to the spinocerebellar tracts results in loss of coordinated movements of the trunk and lower extremities and presents with an abnormal clinical sign termed Ataxia.
Explanation:
Lesions of spinocerebellar tracts are ipsilateral. hope this helps you :)
The effects of a superficial lesion of the spinocerebellar tracts would be:
1) Muscle incoordination
2) Muscle tone disorders
The anterior spinocerebellar tract transmits proprioceptive information from the upper and lower limb tendon and joint receptor neuromuscular spindles.
The posterior spinocerebellar tract carries proprioceptive information from the trunk and lower limb.
All this information is integrated by the cerebellar cortex to later coordinate movements and maintain body posture.
A superficial injury to the spinocerebellar tracts would directly affect muscle tone (a state of permanent semi-contraction of the muscles), and an inability to coordinate movements.
