Motor developmental delay is considered to be a good prognosis condition out of all other developmental delay and the intervention focus predominantly on movement. When a child fails to meet one or more developmental milestones related to motor, speech and language, social functioning, or daily living skills [1-4]. Treatment for Motor developmental delay is a continuous process and needs tailor-made strategies and flexibility in treatment protocol to counter problems that keep changing as the child grows. The earlier the child gets medical attention better the prognosis of the ailment (5). Incidence reports that a diagnosis of developmental delay occurs in up to 15% of children under age five, with the incidence increasing from 12.84% to 15.04% over the past 12 years [6] Motor developmental delay is diagnosed as early as the age of 6th month when the child fails to attain neck control and subsequent motor developments. In certain cases where there are significant deficits of the motor system governing the lower limb, the ailments are manifested quite late in the child’s life compared to gross motor deficits. There are various reasons for the ailment but the most common reason is improper development of the motor cortex or the subcortical motor structures. This may be a developmental disorder or congenital anomaly. But the gross symptoms of both types remain almost the same. There may be slight variations as far as the prognosis is concerned.
