Neuromuscular diseases
Neuromuscular diseases are a leading cause of disability in children and frequently result from genetic abnormalities that alter the structure and function of muscles and nerves.
Genetic metabolic diseases
Genetic metabolic diseases are inherited problems with the body's chemistry that affect the way chemical substances in the body are metabolized and energy is generated. Although metabolic diseases individually are rare, more than 1,300 metabolic diseases are recognized and collectively cause an important burden of illness and disability in children.
Movement disorders
Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions characterized by abnormalities in the quality and quantity of spontaneous movements. They range from markedly reduced movement (hypokinetic disorders) to severe constant and excessive movement (hyperkinetic disorders). These disorders affect the speed, quality and ease of movement, and do not lead to weakness or paralysis.
Traumatic and Environmental Brain Disorders
Physical brain trauma due to violence and accidents, as well as environmental insults.
