Our pediatric neurologist conducts a variety of examinations to assess the developmental neurological state of children aged 0-3 years. The focus is on the physical and intellectual development of this age group, as well as related issues. The following examinations provide a comprehensive picture of the child’s developmental status, allowing accurate diagnoses and therapeutic recommendations to be given for parents regarding the next steps.
- Examination of muscle tone can determine any abnormalities in the child’s muscles, such as hypotonia (low muscle tone) or hypertonia (high muscle tone).
- Postural assessment can detect any postural deviation, including conditions like torticollis (twisted neck) or scoliosis (C-shaped spine).
- Examining asymmetric or unusual movements can help to identify potential neurological issues.
- Visual and auditory attention tests can help to verify the audiovisual integration that is crucial in the field of brain information processing.
- Behavioral assessments can help in the early identification of potential neurological issues with signs such as excessive crying, feeding difficulties or sleep problems.
