Trastorno del desarrollo de la coordinación - Treatment

Tratamiento:

La educación física y el entrenamiento motor perceptivo son las mejores formas para el tratamiento del trastorno de la coordinación. Usar una computadora para tomar notas puede ayudar a los niños que tengan dificultades para escribir.

Los niños con trastorno del desarrollo de la coordinación tienen el triple de probabilidades de tener sobrepeso que otros niños de su edad. Estimular la actividad física es importante para prevenir la obesidad.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

El pronóstico del niño depende de la severidad del trastorno. Este trastorno no empeora con el tiempo y generalmente continúa hasta la edad adulta.

Complicaciones:

  • Problemas de aprendizaje
  • Autoestima baja, como resultado de la poca habilidad en los deportes y por las bromas de los otros niños
  • Lesiones repetitivas
  • Aumento de peso como resultado de no desear participar en actividades físicas, como los deportes

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Solicite una cita con el médico si está preocupado con respecto al desarrollo de su hijo.
