Mobility issues in neonates can stem from numerous causes, including genetic disorders, birth injuries, infections, and premature birth. Key conditions include:
1. Cerebral Palsy: Often caused by brain damage before or during birth, leading to impaired muscle coordination. 2. Spina Bifida: A neural tube defect that can result in varying degrees of paralysis. 3. Muscular Dystrophy: A group of genetic diseases causing progressive muscle weakness. 4. Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Resulting from oxygen deprivation during birth, affecting brain function and muscle control.
