During the first 12 months of life, the newborn transitions from a state of being unable to consciously move, to becoming a child capable of sitting, standing, crawling, and in most cases, walking by themselves. Early complex movement assessments help identify the underlying causes of any mobility developmental symptoms that may arise. Additionally, assistance is provided in the form of home exercises needed to correct minor deviations in the infant’s mobility development, and in recognizing any abnormalities in a timely manner.
For a child with healthy motor development, screening is recommended twice in the first year of life: around 3 and 9 months of age. If symptoms are observed, it is advisable to schedule an examination regardless of age.
