INCORRECT


The correct answer is:

FALSE:

Type I: Acute Werdnig Hoffman Disease has the clinical onset from birth to 6 months, typically with severe involvement with weakness and severe hypotonia. These children never develop head control, will never roll over or sit unassisted. In this case the history of sudden onset is best explained as sudden recognition by someone, but the child probably did not have any sudden change.
