The 17 pages that link to Muscle tone, each with the reason it gives.

• Muscle contractionRelated: Ongoing force from muscle activity helps stabilize posture between deliberate movements.

• Cerebral palsyRelated: Altered tone is common, but cerebral palsy can involve high, low, or fluctuating tone.

• Motor unitRelated: Low-level motor-unit activity contributes to maintaining tone.

• DystoniaRelated: Dystonia involves abnormal muscle activation, but is not simply increased muscle tone.

• BalanceRelated: Baseline muscle activity helps maintain posture and respond to disturbances.

• Muscle spindleRelated: Spindle feedback helps sustain the reflex activity underlying resting tone.

• Balance (ability)Related: Baseline muscle activity supports posture before a disturbance requires a larger response.

• Relaxation techniqueRelated: Many relaxation methods work directly with the sensation of persistent muscular tension.

• HypotoniaNarrower topic: Hypotonia describes reduced resting resistance, though tone is distinct from muscle strength.

• MyoclonusRelated: A sudden loss of tone can produce negative myoclonus.

• Muscular systemRelated: Baseline tension helps stabilize joints and maintain posture.

• Body psychotherapyRelated: Changes in habitual tension may become material for observation and movement work.

• CatalepsyRelated: Persistent rigidity changes the tone that normally permits relaxed movement.

• MyologyRelated: It describes baseline muscular activity that supports posture and readiness.

• AtonyNarrower topic: Atony is the loss or marked reduction of this resting tension.

• Charles Scott SherringtonRelated: Sherrington’s studies connected spinal reflex circuits with the maintenance of posture and tone.

• Skeletal muscle crampCompared with: A cramp is a painful, transient contraction, unlike ordinary resting tone.
