The video is very helpful.

[@thivyakpr2928]

Sir... Both gross and fine motor will come under one domain right??

[@nrkazmi]

@Thivya Kpr No Gross motor and fine motor skills are different domains and are assessed separately

Could preemy not be one of the causes of developmental delay? I had my baby at 33 weeks and weigh only 3pounds. His delay has been since from baby. Rolling, sitting, crawling, walking, talking all delayed. He is 18months now and not walking or talking. I get really worried sometimes. His doctor has not diagnosed anything serious. She only placed him on physical therapy.

[@nrkazmi]

Not all premies are delayed. Usually mild HIE which is commonly associated with prematurity is cause of mild global delay. Your doctor is right. Physical therapy is the only thing you can do

[@Itzz_s4mi96]

Did he is dealyed in other domain too.... choice/reccomendation of therapy depends upon which domain of child is affected or delayed

Could too much gadget exposure causes the delay?

[@nrkazmi]

There is no evidence for that. Excessive gadgets usage is more related to behavioral issues, violence and visual problems rather than developmental issues

[@salmanibrahim3254]

If CK normal.. EMG and NCS for which diseases? Why bone scan?

[@nrkazmi]

EMG and NCS are for various Neuropathies. The list is a big one and can include hereditary as well as acquired neuropathies. Moreover its not the bone scan, its bone profile, because certain bone diseases are associated with weak musculatures. Rickets is one example. There are many others as well

Plz i need article for this pdf

[@nrkazmi]

Not everything is in pdf. Better listen to the lecture and try to understand

[@صباحفاضلكاظم]

Because I have a graduate research, so I need sources

[@nrkazmi]

@@صباحفاضلكاظم most of my lectures are based on materials from Nelson Textbook of Paediatrics so you can read that textbook as a reference

Your missed speech as a delayed domain

[@nrkazmi]

No, its not missed. Kindly watch the video again. The word language has been used instead of speech development. May be you are alluding to the fact that i didnt explain it in detail. That was an editing issue because the audio had problems so that bit had to be sacrified in final edit.

@@nrkazmi you said it’s a 3 year old that cannot talk only babbles but only stated gross & fine motor domains as those affected. Language should’ve been added is what I’m saying.
