Approach to the child with weakness or clumsiness
1Department of Neurology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, USA.
Abstract:
Disorders of the motor system in children may present acutely or insidiously. The underlying pathologic process may involve the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system. Some causes of weakness or clumsiness are treatable; others have important prognostic implications for the child. The primary care physician should understand how to take a thorough history and localize the process with the physical and neurologic examination, to decide on further evaluation and management of the child with motor dysfunction.

Rigid Body Equilibrium Problems - II
Consider two children sitting on a seesaw, which has negligible mass. The first child has a mass (m1) of 26 kg and sits at point A, which is 1.6 meters (r1) from the pivot point B; the second child has a mass (m2) of 32 kg and sits at point C. How far from the pivot point B should the second child sit (r2) to balance the seesaw?
