Balance training improves static, dynamic, and functional balance in children with developmental disorders
Balance training boosts motor skills in kids with developmental disorders
This meta-analysis of 22 trials indicates that balance training provides moderate improvements in several motor performance metrics for chil…
A new analysis of 22 trials finds balance training can improve balance and motor function in children with developmental conditions.
Whole-genome sequencing of fathers with children with developmental disorders shows sperm mutation burden indistinguishable from controls
Why Fathers' Sperm Isn't Always To Blame
This cohort study examined fathers of children with developmental disorders and population reference cohorts using whole-genome and ultra-ac…
Most new genetic mutations causing developmental disorders come from normal aging rather than a specific flaw in a father's sperm.

Questions about Developmental Disorders
Is there a link between sperm mutations and developmental disorders in children?
While most sperm mutations are random, specific types of mutations in the male germline can lead to developmental disorders in children.
Full answer →Can balance training help children with developmental disorders improve their motor skills?
Balance training can improve static, dynamic, and functional balance as well as gross motor skills in children with developmental disorders.
Full answer →Does genome sequencing help find a diagnosis for children with developmental disorders?
Genome sequencing can increase the likelihood of finding a genetic diagnosis for children with developmental disorders compared to standard testing methods.
