Congenital Muscle Hypotonia

hypotonia /hy·po·to·nia/ (-tōn´e-ah) diminished tone of the skeletal muscles.

hy·po·to·ni·a (h

-t

)

1. Reduced tension or pressure, as of the intraocular fluid in the eyeball.

2. Relaxation of the arteries.

3. A condition in which there is diminution or loss of muscular tonicity, resulting in stretching of the muscles beyond their normal limits.

Hypotonia

Reduced or diminished muscle tone.

hypotonia

[-tō′nē·ə]

Etymology: Gk, hypo, under, tonos, stretching

a condition of diminished tone or tension that may involve any body structure.

hypotonia [hi″po-to´ne-ah]

abnormally decreased tonicity or strength.

hypotonia (hī´pōtō´nē

n an abnormality of the skeletal muscle tone, which is indicative of genetic disorders or nervous system dysfunction. Patients with hypoplastic tendencies display floppy limbs and an inability to sustain normal head position.

hypotonia

abnormally decreased tonicity or strength.

ocular hypotonia

low intraocular pressure.
