tone or strength

23
Q

Dystonia

muscle tone that causes the impairment of voluntary
muscle movement

24
Q

Hypotonia

Muscle Disorders

which there is diminished tone of the skeletal muscles

25
Ataxia | Muscle Disorders
lack of muscle coordination during voluntary movement
26
contracture | Muscle Disorders
