TIA
The following appears in the discharge summary for a patient who suffered a stroke:
NIHHS calculado de 1 por dismetría dedo-nariz (Sdme hemimo). TC basal y Angio-TC normales. Se cataloga como AIT de perfil lacunar hemimotor-hemiataxia derecho de probable etología microvascular, e ingresa para monitorización.
I am unclear what "hemimotor-hemiataxia" is intended to indicate and how it should be translated. Hemimotor-hemiataxia" does not seem correct (similarly the linked "Sdme hemimo" - as "hemimotor syndrome" does not appear to work). I have considered "lacunar ataxic hemiparesis" as a possibility, but am not sure that is the intended meaning.
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
John

(with) hemimotor deficit and hemiataxia
I was not able to locate any authoritative definition of hemimotor-hemiataxia.
In one publication 'hemiparesis' is explicitly mentioned ('ataxic hemiparesis', as you suggested, yourself).
Lacunar syndromes were divided into pure motor hemiparesis, pure sensory syndrome, ataxic hemiparesis, dysarthria clumsy hand syndrome, and sensorimotor syndrome.
https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/01.STR.000012736...
Beside paresis/weakness, another publication included various motor symptoms under "hemimotor syndromes":
The characteristics of motor deficit were facial and upper extremity weakness with increased deep tendon reflexes, clumsiness, and extensor plantar response in half of the patients. This type of motor deficit was termed “nonpyramidal hemimotor syndrome” by Caplan et al. to distinguish it from pyramidal pathway lesions that originated in the precentral area.
https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01.STR.30.1.100
Therefore, a more general term than paresis seems warranted, such as "hemimotor deficit and hemiataxia" or "hemilateral motor deficit & ataxia".
