Specific impairment of motor function

Specific motor dysfunction (motor negligence syndrome, clumsy child syndrome, developmental aphasia, developmental dyspraxia) - psychomotor development disorder, abnormal motor coordination development. The clumsy child is found in 5% of pre-school children or elementary school children, although there are already some signs of motion sickness. He is more often encountered in boys.

Children with specific motor dysfunction have problems with coordination of movements. They involve both small and large motors. There is often talk of discrete neurological symptoms. Movements of both types can be accompanied by tremors. Patients have poorly developed motor skills planning and imitation skills in the absence of adequate demonstration or explanation. There are also involuntary movements. As an example, you can give a grimace to the face that accompanies the upper limb movement. Also muscle tension is deviating from normal. A child can not do one thing for a long time. In addition, his movements are characterized by a large difference in fluidity depending on the body involved in the movement. Bibliography
