Fatigue in children with neurologic impairments.
Children with neuromuscular illness are at high risk for fatigue. This symptom, although difficult to decipher, can contribute significantly to the child's disability. It is, therefore, imperative to consider fatigue in the management of children with special health care needs. Currently, the literature on chronic fatigue in children is sparse and so more investigative work must be done to understand and manage this condition.
