Muscle tone abnormalities can result from a variety of factors. Some common causes include:
Genetic Disorders: Conditions like Down syndrome or Prader-Willi syndrome can present with hypotonia. Neurological Issues: Cerebral palsy and spinal cord injuries often result in hypertonia. Metabolic Disorders: These can affect muscle function and tone. Prematurity: Premature infants may exhibit abnormal muscle tone due to their underdeveloped nervous systems.
