A member asked:

My 3 year old appears to be clumsy, always falling or losing his balance. could his legs be giving out on him?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clumsy?: This could be an innocent problem, such as being like me and just being a clumsy person :) or it can also be from a medical condition, such as an orthopedic or neurological condition. Best to have your child undergo a physical exam to see if there is any type of anatomical deformity (of legs or feet) or abnormality on neurologic exam to explain the clumsiness. Further testing might be necessary.
