titubation

There may also be tremor of the head and trunk (titubation) in individuals with cerebellar ataxia.

The limbs show weakness, incoordination in voluntary movement, dysdiadochokinesis (in inability to perform rapidly alternating movements), and titubation.

This presents itself with postural instability, in which the person tends to separate his/her feet upon standing, in order to gain a wider base and to avoid titubation (bodily oscillations tending to be forward-backward ones).

"I like the calm manner, the - let's call it titubation - when he can't make up his mind," Ann Natanson, a London-born writer who lives in Rome, said of Horst Tappert, the actor who plays Inspector Derrick.
