Parents of a toddler boy noticed he began to walk on his toes, was falling often, and

 

struggled to stand back up. Over time it became more difficult for him to life his

 

knees high, which affected his ability to run. At age six, doctors noted that he had

 

progressive muscle wasting. Over more time, his trunk muscles began to weaken

 

along with the others, and as a result he developed a protuberant abdomen.
