Hypotonia is a state of low muscle tone [1] (the amount of tension or resistance to stretch in a muscle), often involving reduced muscle strength. Hypotonia is not a specific medical disorder, but a potential manifestation of many different diseases and disorders that affect motor nerve control by the brain or muscle strength.
Adenosine monophosphate deaminase deficiency type 1 or AMPD1, is a human metabolic disorder in which the body consistently lacks the enzyme AMP deaminase, [1] in sufficient quantities. This may result in exercise intolerance, muscle pain and muscle cramping. The disease was formerly known as myoadenylate deaminase deficiency (MADD).
The function of the muscle is to obstruct the pharyngeal port at the moment that the pharyngeal lateral walls move towards each other. [ 2 ] [ 19 ] It is important that the width and the level of insertion of the flap are properly constructed, because if the flap is too wide, the patient can have problems with breathing through the nose, which ...
Muscle weakness can also be classified as either "proximal" or "distal" based on the location of the muscles that it affects. Proximal muscle weakness affects muscles closest to the body's midline, while distal muscle weakness affects muscles further out on the limbs. Proximal muscle weakness can be seen in Cushing's syndrome [18] and ...
The hallmark of flaccid dysarthria is weakness, affecting different muscles, depending on where the damage has occurred. Some common signs include the following [4] Phonation and prosody: Damage to cranial nerve X can present as changes in voice quality. One or both vocal folds may be effectively paralyzed, or have diminished function.
Deficiency of BNIP3 leads to muscle inflammation and atrophy. [19] Furthermore, not every muscle is as susceptible to the atrophic effects of aging. For example, in both humans [20] and mice [21] it has been shown that lower leg muscles are not as susceptible to aging as upper leg muscles. This could perhaps be explained by the differential ...
CMD with brain-eye, also called muscle-eye-brain disease, [19] is a rare form of congenital muscular dystrophy (autosomal recessive disorder) causing a lack of normal muscle tone which can delay walking due to being weak, also paralysis of eye muscles and intellectual disability which affects an individual's way of processing information. [19]
Exercise intolerance is a condition of inability or decreased ability to perform physical exercise at the normally expected level or duration for people of that age, size, sex, and muscle mass. [1] It also includes experiences of unusually severe post-exercise pain , fatigue , nausea , vomiting or other negative effects.
