Slight Delayed Reaction In Muscular Movement. What Is The Clinical Name For This Condition?
Hi, my oldest son(6) is slightly delayed in his muscular movement. I don t remember what the clinical name for it is but I thought my wife told me it was affasia. An example of his condition, if I were to throw a pitch to him, his brain would say, swing , but his arms wait a bit too long before he actually swings. Is affasia the name of this condition and can a young child grow out of it?

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Aphasia is loss of voice and not delayed muscular movement.
What you describe for your son is a coordination issue. With training the child should be able to overcome it.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son all the best.
Regards,
RKK
