Respected madam/sir, see boy will be affected with DMD Duncan Muscular Dystrophy which will be from birth, where he got affected gradually all the muscles of body starting from distal muscles to nearer body muscles see he is very you can prevent deformity going to settle. Strengthening exercises plays very important role to prevent deformity, which will maintain balance between both aspect of muscle. Flexibility is also very important by which normal walking patterns can be maintained. See maximum age for him will 18\u00a0years. Survival rates also very low. Mortality and morbidity can be prevented by regular walking exercises daily Yoga can be good.
