Neither. They retain the ability to move but their movements
lose precision. They don't lose their *sense* of equilibrium
but may have problems balancing because of the loss of precise
motor control.

(This assumes, of course, that the damage is limited to the
cerebellum. If it extends into other parts of the brain too,
all bets are off.)
