Pediatric Conditions

Pediatric conditions cover a spectrum of health issues affecting infants to adolescents, often stemming from genetic, developmental, or birth-related factors. These conditions can significantly influence a child’s physical and functional abilities during their pivotal growth stages.

Key Risk Factors in Pediatric Conditions:

  • Genetic Influences: Conditions like muscular dystrophy, linked to genetics, can notably affect a child’s muscle strength and mobility.
  • Developmental Challenges: Neurodevelopmental disorders, such as cerebral palsy, impact movement, coordination, and muscle tone.
  • Birth Complications: Issues like spina bifida, resulting from neural tube defects during development, illustrate the complexities of birth-related conditions.
