One and a half year old baby can't walk_One and a half year old baby can't walk

Generally speaking, babies with normal growth and development will be able to roll over at three months, sit up at six months, crawl forward at eight months, and slowly walk on their own when they are about one year old. If your baby is over one year old and still cannot walk by himself, it may be caused by a lack of calcium or other nutrients in the baby's body. Let’s take a look at what to do if your baby can’t walk at one and a half years old?

What should I do if my one and a half year old baby still can't walk?

Motor delay refers to the fact that some children suffer from certain neurological or muscular diseases, or poor parenting and care practices, which causes their physical motor development to lag behind that of normal children of the same age after birth. Although the causes vary, the main feature of motor delay in children is significant motor impairment, manifested as obvious motor delay, such as lag in walking, crawling, and sitting alone. Standardized motor skill tests show that their skills are more than 2 standard deviations below the expected value for their age.

There are five causes of motor retardation in children: caused by perinatal brain damage, such as premature birth, low birth weight, neonatal asphyxia, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, etc. Caused by peripheral nerve damage or muscle system disease. Caused by birth defects, including limb deformity, mutilation or paralysis. Inherited metabolic defects. Chromosomal diseases: such as fragile X syndrome. The key to treating children with motor delay is early correct diagnosis and early treatment. If parents lack understanding of their children's developmental process, they will not be able to detect the disease early and miss the critical treatment time, which may delay the treatment of the disease. The treatment effect after the age of 3 is very poor.

At present, professional medical institutions often use five methods for rehabilitation treatment of children with delayed motor development: rehabilitation treatment, including: exercise therapy, multi-sensory training and sensory integration therapy, occupational therapy, low-frequency electrotherapy, transcranial magnetic therapy, brain ultrasound scanning therapy, hydrotherapy, etc. Drug treatment, including brain nutrition drugs, brain function promoting drugs, nervous system drugs, etc. Traditional medical treatments include meridian leveling therapy, acupuncture, and massage. Inpatient observation and care. Family rehabilitation training, etc. The rehabilitation treatment for some motor development delays is a long and arduous process, and the active cooperation of parents is very important.
