Symptoms of Congenital Muscular Dystrophy
What are the Symptoms of Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD)?
Because a congenital muscular dystrophy is present at birth, babies often exhibit signs of a muscle disorder early in life.
- Signs and symptoms often include:
- Babies that appear to be floppy when held
- Low level of spontaneous movements like kicking the legs or waving the arms
- Difficulty meeting developmental milestones like raising the head or rolling over
- Learning disabilities as your child ages
