Developmental Issues

Delayed Milestones - developmental issues

Developmental Issues – Delayed Milestones

Milestones represent key stages in a child's development, such as walking or talking, which are expected to occur at specific ages.

Late walking

Late Walking

Late walking occurs when a child hasn't reached the walking milestone by the expected age. This delay can impact the child's overall development and independence, making it an issue that needs to be addressed.

Neurological Conditions

Abnormal Muscle Tone

Abnormal Muscle Tone

Muscle tone refers to the level of tension present in the muscles. Muscles are continuously in a slight state of contraction, allowing us to maintain and control upright posture while resisting gravity.

Dyskinesia

Dyskinesia

Dyskinesia in children refers to the occurrence of jerky, uncontrolled body movements. These rapid motions are purposeless and disrupt normal movement or posture.

Therapeutic Taping

Dystonia

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary and sustained muscle spasms or contractions in children. This condition can affect a single muscle, a group of muscles, or the entire body.

Delayed Milestones - Neurological Disorders

Neurological Conditions – Delayed Milestones

Milestones are key developmental benchmarks that indicate when a child is expected to achieve significant skills, such as walking or talking. A delayed milestone occurs when a child has not reached one of these important stages by the expected age.

Reduced-motor-skills

Reduced Motor Skills

Motor skills are learned sequences of movements that enable children to perform specific tasks smoothly and efficiently. These skills are developed throughout childhood through activities and practice.

Spasticity

Spasticity

Spasticity is characterized by involuntary, velocity-dependent muscle tone that increases resistance to movement. This condition can affect various parts of the body, making everyday activities and functioning extremely challenging for children.

Bone, Joint, and Muscle Disorders

Joint Inflammation

Joint Inflammation

Children aged 0-18 can experience a range of bone, joint, and muscle problems. Our specialized pediatric physiotherapists are here to help address these issues.

Musculoskeletal Problems

Musculoskeletal Problems

Pediatric musculoskeletal problems refer to pain or damage affecting the bones, joints, and muscles in children. Contrary to popular belief, these issues are more common than many realize and can significantly impact a child's growth and development.

orthopedic-problems

Orthopedic Problems

Pediatric orthopedic problems are relatively common and involve abnormalities in the alignment of bones and joints, particularly in the lower limbs. These issues can lead to pain and impact a child's everyday activities, such as walking.

Pediatric-pain

Pediatric Pain

Pediatric pain is a subjective sensation experienced by children, serving as a protective mechanism to prevent bodily harm. It varies significantly from one child to another, with some children perceiving pain more intensely than others, even when exposed to the same painful stimulus.

Respiratory Issues

Chest Infections

Chest Infections

Pediatric chest infections are infections that affect the throat and lungs in children. The two primary types of pediatric chest infections are: Acute Bronchitis and Pneumonia

Ineffective Cough

Ineffective Cough

A cough is a natural reflex that helps clear the throat of excess mucus or dust. An effective cough successfully clears the airway, while an ineffective cough occurs when a child is unable to expel mucus or debris effectively.

Pediatric-Secretions

Pediatric Secretions

Pediatric secretions refer to thick, sticky mucus produced in the throat and lungs of children. These secretions can contribute to infection and inflammation, making it difficult for a child to breathe.

Reduced Exercise Tolerance

Reduced Exercise Tolerance

Exercise tolerance refers to the amount of physical activity a child can engage in before becoming fatigued. This can be measured either by the duration of exercise or the maximum exertion a child can sustain within a specific timeframe.

Shortness of Breath

Shortness of Breath

Pediatric shortness of breath, or dyspnea, can vary significantly among children and has multiple potential causes. It occurs when a child feels they are not getting enough oxygen, leading them to increase their breathing rate and take deeper breaths.

Gait and Walking Difficulties

Coordination Problems

Coordination Problems

Coordination refers to the body's ability to execute or control movements smoothly and accurately. Pediatric coordination problems arise when a child's movements become uncoordinated, inconsistent, or inaccurate.

Falling Over

Falling Over

Pediatric falling over refers to a child's frequent falls while walking. This issue can significantly limit a child's independence, requiring constant supervision and increasing the risk of injury.

Gait Clumsiness - Gait Walking difficulties

Gait Clumsiness

Gait clumsiness refers to a child's difficulty in walking, often characterized by poor coordination. Children with gait clumsiness may struggle with gross motor skills, significantly impacting their independence.

Poor Balance

Poor Balance

Pediatric poor balance refers to a child's difficulty in maintaining stability, which can lead to challenges in various activities. Children with poor balance may struggle with standing, making it hard for them to walk or learn to walk, increasing their risk of falls.

Toe-walking

Toe Walking

Pediatric toe walking occurs when a child walks on their tiptoes instead of using their entire foot. This behavior is relatively common and often resolves on its own by the time a child reaches school age.
