| 21. | The neonate ( less than 37 weeks of age ) is in a state of physiological hypotonia.
|
| 22. | Additionally, lower motor neurons are characterized by muscle weakness, hypotonia, hyporeflexia and muscle atrophy.
|
| 23. | Currently, the syndrome is diagnosed through genetic testing; testing is recommended for newborns with pronounced hypotonia.
|
| 24. | Because hypotonia can be a symptom of PWS, it is vital to provide proper nutrition during infancy.
|
| 25. | If the cause is thought to be in the nerves, it is call hypotonia due to polyneuropathy.
|
| 26. | Newborns may present with profound hypotonia ( low muscle tone ), and a poor ability to feed.
|
| 27. | Affected infants have severe seizures, weak muscle tone ( hypotonia ), and breathing and feeding problems.
|
| 28. | The common features of PD and PD animal models are motor impairments ( hypotonia, bradykinesia, hypokinesia ).
|
| 29. | The approach to diagnosing the etiology of hypotonia ( as with all syndromes in neurology ) is first localization.
|
| 30. | Hypotonia can be due to damage to alpha neurons or Ia afferents carrying sensory information to the alpha neurons.
