KiDD syndrome
KiDD is the abbreviation for head joint-induced dyspraxia and dysgnosia . Dysgnosia is the inability to reproduce what you have learned. Dyspraxia describes a coordination and development disorder in which, among other things, fine and gross motor disorders occur. The existence of KiDD in the sense of a clinical picture that is said to be clinically responsible for a number of behavioral disorders is an unproven hypothesis . While some alternative medicine often KiSS or KiDD diagnose and manual therapy recommend that recognizes evidence-based medicine , the diagnosis not because the pathophysiological concept is undetectable and scientific studies have not yet been submitted to the recommended therapy methods.
Epidemiology
As an alleged follow-up pathology of the equally controversial KiSS, perceptual and motor disorders in infant and toddler development are assigned to the KiDD. Associated problems such as poor posture, pain disorders (mostly cervicocephaly as the main symptom), vegetative disorders, inappropriate social behavior, hyperkinesia and others should also be socialized.
Symptoms
These symptoms are reportedly associated with KiDD:
- Headaches, migraines, back and knee pain, "growing pains"
- Bad posture and postural insufficiency
- Restrictions on movement
- Coordination difficulties and motor deficits
- Learning and concentration disorders at school, dyslexia, dyscalculia
- Cognitive disorders
- impaired social integration
- Emotional disorders
- Hyperkinesia, hyperactivity (fidgety philipp)
- Hypoactivity with withdrawal behavior (little dreams) up to autistic traits
- Uncertainties in spatial orientation, fear of heights , dizziness
- vegetative disorders, e.g. B. Insomnia, nocturnal urination
- Orthodontic problems such as B. Incorrect bite, cross bite, overbite, mouth breathing
therapy
- Manual therapy
- Child and family psychological therapy
- pharmaceutical therapy
- nutritional therapy
- Various naturopathic therapeutic approaches
- Accompanying are often afferenzverbessernde remedies such as occupational therapy , sensory integration , Motopädie , conducive.
Criticism, relevance and scientific significance of the diagnoses KiSS and KiDD
The diagnoses KiSS and KiDD are mainly represented by doctors and therapists who are organized throughout Europe in the “European workgroup for manual medicine” (EWMM). The diagnoses are doubted and rejected by many experts. The Society for Neuropediatrics sees the topic as speculative, untenable and generalized. Manipulations in the area of the cervical spine for the treatment of symmetry disorders or motor coordination disorders are generally not recommended.
There is also criticism within the field of manual medicine. For example, the “Medical Association for Atlas Therapy and Manual Child Treatment e. V. “(ÄGAMK) instead of the KiSS term the tone asymmetry syndrome (TAS) and draws different conclusions with regard to treatment recommendation (Atlas therapy according to Arlen) and assessment of possible treatment risks.
