A little insight into “central coordination disorder”

  Central coordination disorder is a synonym proposed by Dr. Vojta for the early diagnosis of cerebral palsy. In fact, central coordination disorder is a child at risk for cerebral palsy or a child at risk for brain injury with abnormal postural responses.  Etiology】 Various causes of brain injury and brain developmental defects in the perinatal period can be high risk factors. (This is why when parents consult, I always ask the mother about the condition of the baby at the time of delivery, whether the baby had a cranial MRI, etc.)  Clinical manifestations] Since the brain tissue of the child is in the growth and development stage, after the injury, the child’s development in terms of posture, movement and muscle tone is affected, and there is a significant delay in motor development compared to children of the same age, with abnormal movement of posture as the main symptom. (At this time there are problems with the baby will appear development than the same age baby delayed symptoms, different months of age appear different symptoms, so mothers should go to the hospital regularly as required to do a physical examination of small children ah. (The specific symptoms that appear each month will not be detailed, you can consult separately if you have questions) [Diagnosis] The main basis for diagnosis is the vojta postural reflex. (The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this kind of things.  2 medication: application of antiepileptic drugs for combined epilepsy; application of benzhexol, nitrazepam, etc. for high muscle tone; neurotrophic drugs to promote brain development.  3 Functional training: acupuncture, massage, PT, OT, braces and orthotics application.  These are only the most common diagnostic and therapeutic tools for central coordination disorders, but of course in the specific clinical application to be relatively complex, we also need to identify “myotonic dystrophy, genetic metabolic disease, etc.”, so parents should seek medical attention when they have problems.
