Though we lack a definitive treatment, a team approach can help, using physical therapy and stretching exercises to prevent tightening of the muscles , aids like a cane and walker to improve mobility, surgery for orthopedic complications , besides monitoring heart and respiratory function and weight control to prevent obesity .Lately,gene therapy is being explored as a possible treatment.
