Inline EG

suggestion

"dysdiadochokinesia: difficulty performing rapid alternating movements (e.g. rapid alternating pronation and supination of the hand)"

Line 11:78 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

"intention (kinetic) tremor: impaired coordination of the proximal limb resulting in increasing involuntary oscillations nearing the end of a voluntary movement (e.g. during the finger-to-nose approach test)"

Line 12:168 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

"dysmetria: missing a target object during voluntary movement of a limb (e.g. during a heel-shin test)"

Line 13:79 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

"Acquired forms include ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, CNS infections (cerebellitis, abscess), intoxication (e.g. alcohol, solvents, sedatives), systemic infections (e.g. HIV, CJD, neurosyphilis), vitamin deficiencies (e.g. B1, B12), hypothyroidism, paraneoplastic syndromes, cerebellar masses, neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. MSA)."

Line 21:143 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

Commas

suggestion

Line 21:74 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

"Hereditary forms have been described, which may be divided into autosomal dominant (e.g. spinocerebellar ataxias, dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy), autosomal recessive (e.g. Friedreich ataxia, ataxia-telangiectasia, ataxia with vitamin E deficiency, CANVAS), X-linked (e.g. fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome) and mitochondrial forms ^1-3."

Line 23:40 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Parentheses

suggestion

Line 21:91 · Use parentheses judiciously. There are at least 3 sets in this paragraph.
