Yes, you should definitely consult a neurologist. I would suggest you to get genetic test done for the child to get to know the cause of dystrophy. Ganga ram hospital is a good one for that.At the same time you need to get physiotherapy regularly for your child.
You have asked about reports .....EMG , NCV are the basic test required but you should get it done only when they are prescribed by a neurologist. I have been treating a case of GNE myopathy....you can consult me in case you want any guidance for neuro rehabilitation. Muskaan physiotherapy clinic , east delhi.
Next Steps
consult neurologist.
