A member asked:
My daughter has inherited waardenburg syndrome form me. she has weak shoulder muscle control and weak grip strength. could they be related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Some patients with that syndrome can have issues related to the shoulders and the spine but is pretty rare. A thorough physical exam and evaluation by physical and occupational therapist can help isolate the source of the problem and direct referrals from there. A specialist such as a neurologist may be involved in the process also.
