What does abnormal muscle tone mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many variables: usually this refers to laxity or "looseness" of muscles at rest. Very often a sign of poor physical conditioning or underlying medical illnesses. This can also be found in certain endocrine and neurological conditions: please get examined and tested.
