Commentary on Development of Low Postural Tone Compensatory Pattern- Predicted Dysfunction Patterns in Lower Part of the Body

Abnormal features of development in children such as hypotony of core stability (CS) as well as hypotony and hypertony of the lower extremities muscles described by us in the previous article [1] can be considered as early symptoms of developmental coordination disorders (DCD) in the light of current knowledge. DCD is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a marked impairment in the development of motor coordination in children. Diagnosis of DCD is made only when the impairment interferes with academic achievement or daily activities and if the coordination difficulties are not due to any known medical conditions [2,3].
