Question

What are the causes of children’s muscle tone issues?

Answer

Children’s muscle tone issues are primarily caused by central motor disorders. If there were abnormal conditions during pregnancy or at birth, such as hypoxia, asphyxia, or abnormal amniotic fluid, this issue may arise. It is recommended to undergo a cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to understand the root cause of the problem and to be aware of the possibility of cerebral palsy. Treatment options may include medication and rehabilitation.
