Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Congenital myopathies often cause muscle weakness and hypotonia in infants, resulting in a floppy appearance, hence the term "floppy baby syndrome". While neck weakness may be a component of this condition, it is not specific enough to be the primary descriptor. Floppy arm syndrome is not a recognized medical condition. Atrophy myopathies refer to a group of inherited muscle disorders characterized by progressive wasting and weakness of muscles. Becker's dystrophy is a genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness and is typically diagnosed later in childhood or adolescence.
