(63,221 posts)"Ataxia describes a lack of muscle control or coordination of voluntary movements, such as walking or picking up objects. A sign of an underlying condition, ataxia can affect various movements, creating difficulties with speech, eye movement and swallowing.
Persistent ataxia usually results from damage to the part of your brain that controls muscle coordination (cerebellum). Many conditions can cause ataxia, including alcohol abuse, certain medications, stroke, tumor, cerebral palsy, brain degeneration and multiple sclerosis. Inherited defective genes also can cause the condition."

(63,221 posts)"Ataxia refers to conditions that affect coordination or body movements in an individual. Chronic use of a number of different drugs may result in the development of ataxia. Of course, neurological conditions, such as stroke and dementia that may be related to substance abuse, can also result in ataxia."
Could also be a result of minor stroke and/or dementia.

(7,888 posts)contents are in need of "airing"? He looks less obese when he spreads his legs?
His ego is on display. I have been overweight and underweight, it does not define me. He must wake up every day to "mirror, mirror on the wall" delusions of how handsome and "rich" he is. "I can grab them by the...." Sick, psychopath in our WH.

(14,971 posts)with his hands hanging straight down at his sides and crossing his feet, these are more signs of cognitive brain disease.

(62,444 posts)Did he just pivot in that direction to shout something about fake news?
If that is a still image taken when he had just pivoted, then his legs might just be in that momentary contortion.

(13,565 posts)He was swinging his right foot out as he walked. I noticed it because my ex, a polio survivor, did the same thing. Had poor control of his foot, and would swing it out with each step.
We don't ever see him walk at a normal gait, do we? He lumbers, usually slowly.

(5,554 posts)At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. ... The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area. Craig then proceeded to swipe his left hand under the stall divider several times, with the palm of his hand facing upward.[5]

(37,157 posts)I mean, that's the classic beginner's "snowplow" stance.
Courtesy definition in this context: "bunny slope" is the general term for a short, gentle incline where beginner skiers can practice and get the hang of it.
