Often due to certain nervous disorders, low muscle tone is observed in the body. Many infants are diagnosed with muscle tone abnormality at birth. In such cases, the child should be taken to a physiotherapist or a pediatrician. The concerned doctor will be able to diagnose the reason for the weakness in the muscle. Only a medical professional can identify if the hypotonia or hypertonia in the patient’s body is curable or not. They will be able to suggest ways to increase muscle tone. A nurse from the maternal and child health care department can also be consulted for improvement in the child’s muscular movements. The doctor examines the underlying possibilities for weakness in the muscles. He will conduct tests to detect whether the individual is suffering from a muscle abnormality. It can be either hypertonia or high muscle tone, or hypotonia, or low muscle tone.
