His weight was 30% of expected and height was 70% of expected. o/e had social smile and was able to recognize the mother. He was able to roll over and that was the only mobility. HE had no speech except vocalization, had gross hypotonia with dis locatable shoulder joints.There was no head control. Power was grade 3 in all limbs. sensory system was normal.
