The long-term effects of hypotonia on a child's development and later life depend primarily on the severity of the muscle weakness and the nature of the cause. Some disorders have a specific treatment but the principal treatment for most hypotonia of idiopathic or neurologic cause is physical therapy and/or occupational therapy for remediation.
Furthermore, muscle biopsy does not reveal any deficiency. [1] Walker–Warburg syndrome at the beginning a progressive weakness and low muscle tone at birth or during early infancy; small muscles; the majority of affected children do not live more than 3 years of age. Eye structure problems are present, with accompanying visual impairment.
[1] [5] Skeletal muscle weakness is a characteristic feature. It more evident in the proximal muscles of the extremities. Facial and neck weakness have also been reported. [6] Scoliosis is a side curvature or abnormal deviation of the spine with an element of rotation. Scoliosis is usually rigid and progressive. It may be accompanied by ...

Muscle weakness is a lack of muscle strength. Its causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have either true or perceived muscle weakness. True muscle weakness is a primary symptom of a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy.
Babies: weak muscles, poor feeding, slow development [2] Children: constantly hungry, intellectual impairment, behavioural problems [2] Usual onset: occurs at or near the time of conception for unknown reasons: Duration: Entire lifespan: Types: There are three main molecular mechanisms that result in PWS: paternal deletion, maternal UPD 15, and ...
Chronically low vitamin D can result in weak bones at any age. In infants and young children, developing bones can become misshapen or deformed, causing rickets , a softening and weakening of bones.
The causes for muscle weakness is said to be decrease in muscle carnitine, decreased muscle oxidation, expression of a slower ATPase in myosin chain and decreased transport across the cell membrane. [16] [17] The rigidity associated with congenital hypothyroidism may be due to abnormal development of basal ganglia. [18]
