Than for choosing Chat Doctor, MSA(multiple system atrophy) is a degenerative disorder of nerve cells in specific areas of brain. It can involve cerebellar area, which controls the balance and co-ordination. There can be difficulty in initiating movement as well as problem in balancing while walking. Physiotherapy can play vital role in your symptoms.consult a good physiotherapist, who can give you gait training. There specific exercises which improves balance and co-ordination. You can also use some walking aid like cane or walker etc. In some cases when there are more episodes of fall, wheelchair can be advised for mobility.
