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.
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.

A vitamin D deficit can also lead to muscle aches, weakness and even bone pain, which you should address immediately. ... (mcg) for infants and 15 mcg for ages 1 through 70. After 71, the ...
Central core disease (CCD), also known as central core myopathy, is an autosomal dominant inherited [1] muscle disorder present from birth that negatively affects the skeletal muscles.
