Nerve and Muscle Disorders
These are conditions where the communication between nerves and muscles is disrupted, leading to weakness, stiffness, or difficulty in controlling movement. In children, such disorders may cause delayed milestones, frequent falls, or difficulty performing daily activities. .
Hypotonia
Hypotonia, commonly known as floppy baby syndrome, refers to decreased muscle tone that makes a child appear unusually flexible or weak. It can be due to genetic, metabolic, or neurological causes. Children with hypotonia often face challenges in feeding, sitting, or walking.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a lifelong neurological condition caused by brain injury during or shortly after birth. It affects movement, posture, and coordination. Children may experience symptoms ranging from mild motor delays to severe mobility challenges and functional disabilities.
Microcephaly or Macrocephaly
Microcephaly is a condition where a child’s head is smaller than expected, while macrocephaly indicates a larger head size. Both conditions may be related to abnormal brain growth, genetic factors, or developmental issues.
Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus occurs when fluid accumulates within the brain, causing increased pressure inside the skull. This may result in rapid head growth, vomiting, irritability, or developmental delay.
Spinal Disorders
Spinal disorders in children can include spinal cord malformations, tethered cord, or scoliosis, which may affect mobility, sensation, or bladder control. These conditions may be congenital or acquired.
Prenatal Brain & Spine Abnormalities
These abnormalities are detected during pregnancy through fetal scans and may include conditions like spina bifida, ventriculomegaly, or brain malformations. Early diagnosis enables prenatal counseling, delivery planning, and postnatal treatment strategies.
Behind every weakness lies the potential for recovery with the right care.
