The patient presented with generalized body aches, progressive lower limb weakness, difficulty walking, waddling gait, and a positive Gower's sign.

Electromyography and nerve conduction study results were normal. The patient was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency-induced proximal myopathy and osteomalacia, likely due to reduced sunlight exposure, inadequate dietary intake, and obesity. The treatment involved high-dose vitamin D supplementation, oral calcium, lifestyle modifications, and a structured physiotherapy program focusing on resistance training and functional mobility exercises. Despite biochemical normalization after 2 months, significant symptomatic improvement was achieved only after intensifying physiotherapy. By 7 months, the patient had fully recovered muscle strength, achieved normal gait, and maintained normal follow-up laboratory values.
