Diagnosing movement disorders typically involves a thorough evaluation by a pediatrician or a pediatric neurologist. The assessment may include: - Medical History: Gathering information about the child's birth, development, and any family history of movement disorders. - Physical Examination: Observing the child's movements and muscle tone. - Developmental Screening: Using standardized tools to assess motor skills. - Imaging and Lab Tests: In some cases, MRI scans, blood tests, or genetic testing may be needed.
