Abstract:
In clinical practice, muscular atrophy is a common sign in children. Because of relatively thick subcutaneous fat in children, muscular atrophy is not easy to be discovered. In order to confirm the diagnosis earlier, it is very important to take history in detail, to observe the motor function, cry, the posture of sitting and standing carefully, to do the physical examination thoroughly, and to use the assistant test reasonably.
