Can a 2-year-old baby with Duchenne muscular dystrophy walk?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My youngest son is two and a half years old. Currently, he is crawling, and he is delayed in walking. I bought him for the child development clinic at the hospital. They have sent his blood sample to another country, and the result says that he has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Kindly advise what I should do. My son can stand on the sofa, but he refrains from standing on the floor. He can lift his body. Will he be able to walk?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is a genetic disorder. I am sorry to say this, as this disease has a poor prognosis. You need to visit a medical genetic specialist. Physical therapy, braces, etc. are common management. Along with that if you want to go for alternative treatment, then try Ayurvedic panchkarma therapy where Ayurvedic massage can be given to your son. It had good results in muscular dystrophy disorders. You need to visit a nearby Ayurveda physician or a panchkarma center. It can help you to some extent.
I hope you understand my point.
Thank you.
