The diagnosis of hypotonia involves a comprehensive evaluation, including:
1. Clinical Examination: Assessment of muscle tone, deep tendon reflexes, and overall motor function. 2. Family History: Investigating any genetic predispositions or similar conditions in family members. 3. Laboratory Tests: Blood tests to check for metabolic or genetic disorders. 4. Imaging Studies: MRI or CT scans of the brain and spinal cord to identify structural abnormalities. 5. Electrophysiological Studies: Tests like electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies to evaluate nerve and muscle function.
