R27.0: Ataxia, unspecified

You are having problems with movement.

Many parts of the body have to work together for movements to be fluid. Different muscles have to work together in a finely tuned manner, for example. The brain controls these finely tuned movements.

If the sequence of movements is disrupted, then the movements may be more pronounced than one would like. It is also possible for the movements to be too slow. A person may also be very unsteady when walking or standing.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
