There are ample documentation reporting interplay between neuro-physical disabling conditions and malnutrition. Many studies have reported the effect of malnutrition on growth, cognition, mental and systemic development in children with malnutrition. Literatures even suggest that if malnutrition occurs in the vulnerable period of brain development, it can result in motor impairment (Andrew and Sullivan, 2010; Grantham-McGregor et al., 2007; Kuperminc and Stevenson, 2008). In Africa, however clinical application of assessments of children with physical and neuro-disabilities is seldom practised. In addition evaluating the impact of infantile malnutrition on development in developing countries is inevitably complicated by social context. It is of paramount importance that clinicians in developing countries soon realise that early detection of motor impairments in malnutrition children, followed by early physical rehabilitation will help prevent, minimize and effectively treat physical impairments and
motor delay.
