The syndrome of motor disorders is one of the childhood diseases that have recently been encountered in newborns more often. For many parents, this diagnosis causes desperation, since until recently the disease was poorly studied, which means that its treatment was practically impossible.
The syndrome becomes known already in the first weeks of the child's life. And if doctors start to suspect about its presence not in the hospital, then the parents clearly see some deviations in the development of their baby. And the sooner this happens, the greater the likelihood that further development of the disease can be avoided, in addition - quickly eliminate the already manifested symptoms.
That's why it's so important to watch your baby and tell the doctor in time about any deviations. But for this it is necessary to know how the syndrome of motor disorders( SDS) in newborns manifests, and what signs may indicate the presence of this disease.
What you need to know to the parents
The syndrome of motor disorders is a pathology of motor activity. It can be expressed in different ways, besides the disease is classified according to the age of the patient. Accordingly, the treatment of this disease can have a different character.
There are three types of violation: 
- pareses , they manifest themselves in the weakening of the motor function of the limbs;
- muscle hypotension and hypertension , that is - weakening or increasing muscle tone, often in individual limbs and body parts;
- violation of reflex activity .
In addition, it should be noted that the disease can be observed in infants and in older children. In the first case, its cause is a negative effect on the fetus during his stay in the womb of the mother. In addition, the cause may be injuries acquired during passage of the fetus through the birth canal during childbirth.
In adulthood, the disease is of a different nature. It is caused by age changes or diseases, as well as trauma.
Symptoms of the disease also manifest themselves in a different way. In this case, it is worth paying more attention to the infantile syndrome of motor disorders.
Symptoms of paresis can be expressed in the weakening of motor activity of the extremities. Determine the symptoms can as a doctor, 
watching the baby, and parents. If the child is sluggish, his limbs have a decreased activity.
In addition, paralysis of the laryngeal muscles in children is quite often observed, as a result of which their swallowing reflex in the child is broken from an early age. This symptom indicates a serious stage of the disease, requiring immediate treatment, and eliminating such dangerous symptoms.
It is necessary to pay special attention to how the child develops in a timely manner, that is - starts to hold the head, consciously touch the objects surrounding it and so on.
In case of serious deviations from the schedule, you should immediately indicate this fact to the doctor who observes the baby. The fact that the syndrome of motor disorders in children in the absence of his treatment often leads to serious disabilities in the development of the child. They can have both a physiological and a psychic character.
The presence of this disease in the child leads to disruption of motor abilities. As a result - the inability to start in time to turn over on the tummy from the back, independently hold the head, to know the surrounding world by touching and so on.
In this case, a simple example should be given: if the baby starts to hold the head on his own for 3-4 months with normal development, then if he has a syndrome of violations of motor disorders, he may not be able to cope with this task in a year. Which says about the ability to sit, stand and walk on your own.
Despite the fact that it is the doctor who should notice a violation in the physiological development of the child, first of all parents themselves should pay special attention to this factor, at least until the baby is one year old.
Symptoms of SDR
In order for parents to be able to pay attention to certain violations in the development of the baby on a timely basis, it is necessary to know exactly what the symptoms of motor disorders in the baby can manifest. They can have the following character:
- visible articulation violations ;
- sluggish mimicry : if the emotions of a healthy baby are expressed on the face quite brightly, the SDR is manifested in a virtually absent facial expression, both with positive and negative emotions, such babies begin to smile late, maybe even three months;
- significant delay in visual-auditory responses, parents of children often observe that they do not react to the sounds and events that surround them for a long time, do not recognize parents and relatives;
- children scream weakly and monotonously , with virtually no changes in sounds and tones.
It can be noted that, in general, children who have a syndrome of motor disorders are weaker, sluggish and phlegmatic than their healthy peers. When identifying such signs, you should not rush to write them off on the features of the baby's character, but instead, pay attention to the pediatrician.
Parents need to communicate with children a lot, constantly watching them. Be sure to draw a parallel with their peers in order to be able to objectively evaluate the development of their child. 
It should be noted that the syndrome can manifest itself not only in physical, but also in mental abnormalities. So a small child can independently pick up toys, but do not understand what to do with them.
And if a healthy child realizes such moments quickly enough, then those who have pronounced symptoms of deviation may take much longer.
If the child has visual disturbances, he will be confused in space, it is more difficult for him to determine where a particular object is. If the baby can not reach out with the handles to the desired object the first time, it is necessary to immediately sound the alarm, and to report the symptom to the doctor, while observing the child's general behavior in parallel.
Dr. Komarovsky on neurological problems and motor impairment syndrome in our children:
What to do, how to be the parents of the baby?
The complexity of treatment, as a rule, depends on how early the symptoms of the disease are detected. To date, there are effective techniques that can eliminate the disease fairly effectively and relatively quickly.
After the qualified treatment children grow up completely healthy, and the symptoms of the disease completely disappear.
The most common in the syndrome of motor disorders use a set of therapeutic measures:
- planned course of general massage;
- , in case of neglected cases, physiotherapy, physiotherapy, and special treatment are prescribed;
- , depending on the degree of the disease, drugs can be prescribed that improve the relationship between the onset of nerve impulses and the response to them;
- can also be prescribed homeopathic medicines;
- children are given a large number of products containing vitamin B.
However, the best treatment for the syndrome of motor disorders, has shown itself is a therapeutic massage. It allows you not only to eliminate the symptoms of the disease, but also in general stimulates the physical development of children.
Do not despair if the child is diagnosed with "SDR".The disease is treatable, and the earlier it is detected, the easier and more efficient it will be. In this case, much depends on the observation of parents and the professionalism of the doctor, the lead child.
Complications and prognosis
The extent to which treatment will be effective depends, first of all, on the complexity and degree of neglect of the disease. If there is an easy form of the syndrome, then with the right treatment it can be overcome already in the first year of the baby's life.
More advanced stages often cause serious motor and mental disorders. These include:
- cerebral palsy;
- mental retardation;
- epilepsy;
- difficulties with walking, training and concentration of attention;
- headaches, increased meteosensitivity.
At an early age, an attentive attitude to the child is extremely important. They are included in the granting of freedom in development, naturally - within reasonable limits.
You can not restrict the space of a baby with a crib or an arena. It is desirable to allocate a separate room for the child, in which he can move freely with the observance of security measures.
Vivid pictures, educational toys, walking barefoot and fitball - all this contributes to the correct development of the baby and is a means of preventing the syndrome of motor disorders.
