Dysmetria is a condition characterized by impaired coordination and inaccurate movements, often occurring after a brain injury or concussion. It manifests as overshooting or undershooting the intended target during various movements, such as:
Hand Movements
• Reaching for objects like a cup and missing, hitting teeth or face
• Missing the mouth when brushing teeth
Leg Movements and Walking
• Stumbling or shuffling gait
• Feet smacking hard against the ground
• Scuffing or missing steps
Eye Movements
• Eyes bouncing around before finding the target
• Difficulty with smooth pursuit eye movements
The presence and characteristics of dysmetria can help identify if a brain injury has occurred and potentially localize the affected area of the brain for treatment.
