Coordination Issues
Difficulties with motor coordination, balance, or the smooth execution of physical movements. May affect fine or gross motor skills, or both, and can range from mild clumsiness to significant functional impairment.
Quick answer
Coordination issues (ICD-10: R27.9; ICD-11: MB47) range from developmental DCD to acquired neurological dysfunction. Sudden onset requires urgent neurological review. OT has good evidence for DCD. Vestibular rehabilitation addresses balance-related coordination. Sudden onset in adults is a red flag.
