AB Pediatric  rehabilitation  encompasses  a  wide  variety  of  conditions,  from  neurologic  disorders  to  musculoskeletal  abnormalities  that  affect  growth  and  development.  Developmental  delay,  specifically  in  gross  and  fine  motor  activity,  is  a  common  concern  of  parents  and  caregivers;  thus  an  understanding  of  normal  growth  and  developmental  patterns  is  essential  (Table  20–1).  Causes  of  developmental  dysfunction  in  motor  and  cognitive  skills  range  from  congenital  and  genetic  abnormalities  to  acquired  illnesses  and  injuries  of  the  neurologic  and  musculoskeletal  systems.  A  thorough  history  and  examination  is  key  to  diagnosis  and  management.  Goals  for  habilitation  or  rehabilitation  will  depend  on  the  child’s  age  and  development.
