How To Diagnose And Treat Klinefelter Syndrome

Physical Therapy

One of the things an individual with Klinefelter syndrome may experience is reduced muscle mass and motor control. This is due, in part, to the lack of testosterone present in Klinefelter syndrome patients. Physical therapy can be a helpful tool to help build muscle mass and regain some motor control. A physical therapist should specifically design certain tasks and exercises to help with these goals. The exercises should result in the person become stronger with better balance, coordination, and control. The duration of this facet of treatment is highly variable with each individual. Individuals who have mild symptoms may not need this form of treatment, but patients with more severe symptoms are more likely to need this. Additionally, patients who have had this treatment more extensively in the past may be able to end this treatment. There may be some who will need a physical therapist for most of their life.
