Abstract
This study aimed to describe the profile of children with Neurodevelopmental Conditions (NDC) in terms of their demographics, anthropometric profile, and clinical profile in terms of diagnosis and NDC type. It described the functional and mobility status of children with NDC and utilized correlation tests to determine significant relationships between profile variables. It also determined significant differences in status based on diagnosis and NDC type. This quantitative research employed a retrospective chart review and utilized purposive and consecutive sampling techniques. Thus, 129 eligible case records were reviewed which qualified in the screening process based on predetermined criteria. Data were collected using a structured Data Extraction Form and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson chi-square. The results concluded that most children with NDCs were young males from financially capable families aged one to five years. A discrepancy in physical growth was evident, with many children falling below-normal height and weight compared to typically developing peers. Moreover, most children with NDC predominantly have severe functional status, however, the results of this study showed otherwise– most only mild mobility limitations. Furthermore, the demographic variables showed no significant relationship with functional status. However, physical attributes were significantly related to both functional and mobility status, and age also showed a significant relationship with mobility status. The study concluded that functional and mobility status significantly differed based on diagnosis and NDC type. Overall, the results underscored the importance of considering clinical and physical characteristics over demographic factors when assessing functional and mobility outcomes in patients.
