Condition
Motor Delay
Late rolling, sitting, walking or poor coordination.
Motor delay means gross or fine motor milestones appear later than expected. Causes range from low muscle tone and prematurity to neurological conditions, and early physiotherapy or occupational therapy usually produces rapid gains.
Early signs
- Not sitting by 9 months
- Not walking by 18 months
- Frequent falls and clumsiness
- W-sitting and poor posture
How it is diagnosed
- Gross motor function assessment
- Muscle tone and reflex screening
Our approach
- Orange physiotherapists give parents a simple daily home routine, because ten minutes a day at home outperforms therapy alone.
