What Causes The Child Inability To Move Hands And Feet?

Hi i have three nephews that have some type of disorder where they cant walk, talk, or move any of their hands or feet once they get to a certain age would you happen to know what type of disorder this is and if there is a cure for this. I had a cousin that had the same type of disorder and died because the doctors told my aunt that there is no cure

Hi,

From what you said, it seems like they are having developmental delay. But this is only symptom of an underlying disorder which we have to investigate. Prognosis and any scope of treatment will depend on the cause. Since many members are affected, there is chance of a genetic problem. Whatever be the disorder, supportive measures like physiotherapy, early stimulation etc might improve the quality of life. Kindly discuss with a pediatric neurologist

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
