F82: Specific developmental disorder of motor function

Specific developmental disorder of motor function, as categorized under the ICD-10 code F82, is a condition that affects motor skills development in children. This means that the child has difficulty mastering skills such as sitting, crawling, walking or coordinated hand use. It is not caused by physical diseases, but rather, is suggested to result from the brain developing a little differently during pregnancy. Kids affected will likely not meet the expected milestones for movement abilities compared to others of their age range, making it challenging for them to participate in daily activities. This disorder is usually persistent through adolescence into adulthood. Since symptoms appear early in infancy, it is commonly identified during early childhood. It's important to remember that these children often have normal intellectual capabilities, and this condition does not imply any cognitive impairment.
