What Is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?

5. Poor Coordination
Moving our bodies is an incredibly complex process that takes years of practice before we are even able to walk unaided. Just to be able to stand, our body needs to be making countless adjustments to keep us upright. This takes an incredible number of calculations, and this requires an organ as powerful as the brain.
If there was something wrong with the brain, however, then even moving can become a lot harder. Patients with fetal alcohol syndrome will often have poor coordination and balance. It can hinder their ability to take part in physical activities, while it can also affect them in everyday life.
