Abstract
HYPOTONIA IN THE INFANT IS usually associated with diminished active movement in addition to unusual posture, decreased resistance of the joints to passive movement, and/or increased range of joint movement.1 By observing the infant’s tone and level of activity, the examiner can begin to determine the suspected site of dysfunction. Accurate diagnosis and evaluation of the hypotonic infant are critical to providing necessary medical intervention, rehabilitation, and family support and counseling.
