[|Human|] Hi.. My son is 50 dyas old new born baby.Still he is not able to pump the legs and raise the hands like normal 50 days old child. We have consulted the doctor he aked us to take the CT scan to check is there any issues with brain. But CT scan results shows everything is normal. So, he told it could be gene issue and we Need to consult specialized doctor in that area. Other than this problem everything seems to be normal with him.Also he asked anybody in our family faced this same problem,We said No. His sister 3 years old is very normal. We are very much afraid of this with our son.He is able to open and close the fingers normally and able to move the hands and legs slightly But not like normal child. Could you please let us what should be the problem and whether my son could able to raise his hands and pump the legs like normal child ASAP.
[|AI|]  I have gone through the details but would require some more information to be to be able to respond to your query. The first thing to ask is whether the baby cried at birth. Often it so happens that the child does not get adequate Oxygen in the initial hours of the birth. As the brain does not have any oxygen damage, lack of oxygen could cause damage to the brain. This damage may or may not be evident in a CT Scan. Brain damage could manifest with the limitations that you mention. Alternatively, there could be some structural defects in the body of the baby which might be responsible for the same. In any case, the baby needs active stimulation in the form of physiotherapy that can be available from trained physical therapists of a hospital dealing with neurodevelopmental support of infants. I would insist that you visit such a center and get the child evaluated and treated.
