If the lesions of the disease involve the lateral pyramidal tractsto a considerable extent, the gait is somewhat spastic, while if thesensory fibres are much involved it may be like that of ataxia.Under these circumstances the attitude and gait of a patient aresometimes a combination of those of lateral spinal sclerosis (spasticparaplegia) and locomotor ataxia. In some instances the spasticsymptoms are more marked, in others the signs of locomotor ataxiaare more prominent. This condition is called ataxic paraplegia,and in it we find the exaggerated knee-jerks of lateral sclerosisassociated with the swaying of the body (Rombergs symptom) ofataxia. Ankle-clonus is also present. The crises of locomotor ataxiado not occur, and the Argyll-Robertson pupil is usually not present.(Fig. 36.)
