Diagnosis of any cerebellar disorder or syndrome should be made by a qualified neurologist. Prior to referring a patient to a neurologist, a general practitioner or MS nurse will perform a finger-to-nose test. The clinician will raise a finger in front of the patient and ask him to touch it with his finger and then touch his nose with his forefinger several times. This shows a patient's ability to judge the position of a target. Other tests that could be performed are similar in nature and include a heel to shin test in which proximal overshoot characterizes<unk>  and an inability to draw an imaginary circle with the arms or legs without any decomposition of movement. After a positive result in the finger-to-nose test, a neurologist will do a magnetic resonance image (MRI) to determine any damage to the cerebellum. Cerebellar patients encounter difficulties to adapt to unexpected changes of the inertia of the limbs. This can be used to increase<unk>  and confirm a diagnosis of cerebellar dysfunction. Patients also show an abnormal response to changes in damping. These findings confirm a role of the cerebellum in predictions.
