There is often associated hypotonia on clinical presentation but other cases may present with arthrogryposis and associated contractures of the joints. The condition tends to remain static but some cases may show slow progression. Others, however, may have actual functional improvement, pass various motor milestones and achieve the ability to walk. There may be variable respiratory and swallowing problems at the time of presentation and associated diaphramgmatic involvement may lead to respiratory failure in later childhood or adolescence.
