[edit] Astasia abasia

Source is bogus. Most likely a work of fiction. Bobby1011 04:16, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Fiction it is certainly not; it's an archaic neurologic term (but then again, most neurologic terms are sort of obscure.) Astasia refers to the inability to maintain station (stand upright) unassisted; abasia means that the base of gait (the lateral distance between the two feet) is inconstant or unmeasurable. It's not always caused by conversion disorder; there are organic syndromes, such as those which destroy or inactivate the cerebellum, which cause it too. Don't have a ref to hand at the moment. ikkyu2 (talk) 04:38, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
