• In addition to detailing the effects of the
injury on developmental skills
and functional movement skills as the
child grows, one must consider the following:
• Muscle contractures leading to

joint deformity
• Sensory Deficits: both on an integrative basis as well as specific to the extremity
• Apraxia: lack of usage of the affected extremity and use of compensatory patterns
• Involvement of the unaffected extremity
due to overuse
