ICD-11 code : 6A04;
Preferred Label : Developmental motor coordination disorder;
ICD-11 definition : Developmental motor coordination disorder is characterized by a significant delay
in the acquisition of gross and fine motor skills and impairment in the execution
of coordinated motor skills that manifest in clumsiness, slowness, or inaccuracy of
motor performance. Coordinated motor skills are substantially below that expected
given the individual's chronological age and level of intellectual functioning. Onset
of coordinated motor skills difficulties occurs during the developmental period and
is typically apparent from early childhood. Coordinated motor skills difficulties
cause significant and persistent limitations in functioning (e.g., in activities of
daily living, school work, and vocational and leisure activities). Difficulties with
coordinated motor skills are not solely attributable to a Disease of the Nervous System,
Disease of the Musculoskeletal System or Connective Tissue, sensory impairment, and
not better explained by a Disorder of Intellectual Development.;
