hypertonia

[-tō′nē·ə]

1 abnormally increased muscle tone or strength. The condition is sometimes associated with genetic disorders, such as trisomy 18, and may be expressed in arm or leg deformities.

2 a condition of excessive pressure, such as the intraocular pressure of glaucoma.

hypertonia [hi″per-to´ne-ah]

abnormally increased tonicity, as of skeletal muscles or the walls of arteries.
