What Is Locomotor Disability And Which Therapy Can Help Your Child

Locomotor Disability refers to a condition in which a child has difficulty in moving one or more parts of the body, affecting mobility, coordination, or physical strength. It may involve problems in the bones, joints, muscles, or nervous system and can be present from birth or develop due to injury, illness, or neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord issues. Children with locomotor disability may struggle with activities like walking, standing, sitting, grasping objects, or maintaining balance, which can impact their independence and daily functioning.
