    Answer: Kira has difficulty in walking in smooth coordinated manner because she has suffered injury to the cerebellum.

    Explanation:

    Cerebellum is a part of the brain situated inferior to cerbrum and posterior to pons. It receives sensory information and converts it into motor responses. Motor coordination is when subsequent parts of the same movement, or the movements of several limbs or body parts are combined in a manner that is well timed, smooth, and efficient. Cerebellum coordinates voluntary motor movements resulting in smooth coordinated muscular activities. Injury to cerebellum causes its loss of function which in return causes

    1) loss of coordinated movements

    2) inability to perform alternate rapid movements

    3) movement tremors

    4) staggering wide based gait
