\"hypotonia\"<\/a>What Is Hypotonia?<\/h2>\n

H<\/span>ypotonia is\u00a0impairment<\/span>\u00a0 of\u00a0<\/span>muscle contraction that is characterized by abnormally low muscle tension or flaccid muscles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Normally, even when relaxed, muscles have a very small amount of contraction or tone that gives them a springy feel and provides some resistance to passive movement. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Q<\/strong>: Why is muscle contraction impaired in hypotonia?<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>: In hypotonia, muscle contraction is impaired due to a disconnect between nerve signals and responses of motor\u00a0muscle. Motor muscles cause body parts to move such as the arms and legs.<\/p>\n

Low muscle tone is not the same as low muscle strength, although these two conditions can co-exist.\u00a0 Muscle tone is regulated by signals that travel from the brain to the nerves and stimulate the muscles to contract whereas muscle weakness is a problems of muscles themselves.<\/p>\n

In babies this condition is called “floppy doll syndrome.”<\/p>\n
