Motor Impairments
Motor impairments refer to difficulties in movement and coordination that can affect a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. These impairments can result from various conditions, including cerebral palsy, stroke, or multiple sclerosis. Individuals may experience weakness, stiffness, or lack of control in their muscles, impacting their mobility and fine motor skills.
Treatment for motor impairments often involves physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sometimes medication. These interventions aim to improve strength, coordination, and overall function. Assistive devices, such as wheelchairs or orthotic braces, may also be used to enhance mobility and independence for those affected.
