Information

Upper limb abnormalities:


Physical function is usually remarkably good in individuals with CdLS who have limb abnormalities. Therefore, physical therapy (physiotherapy) or surgical procedures are usually not required. 

Prosthetic devices may be used to aid physical function, however, individuals with CdLS may find difficulty tolerating them.
