Motor Coordination problems
Motor Coordination problem or Motor disorders are diagnosed when motor coordination is substantially below expectations based on age and intelligence. Besides when coordination problems are found to significantly interfere with functioning. There are grossly three major types of motor disorders:
- developmental coordination disorder, it is an impairment in the development of motor coordination (e.g., delays in crawling or walking, dropping things, or poor sports performance);
- stereotypic movement disorder, which consists of repetitive motion activity (e.g., head banging and body rocking); and
- tic disorder, that is characterized by sudden involuntary, recurrent, and stereotyped movement or vocal sounds.
Again, there are two types of tic disorders; The first is Tourette’s disorder, characterized by motor and vocal tics, which includes coprolalia, and the second type is persistent chronic motor or vocal tic disorders that is marked by a single motor or vocal tic.
