[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain how “low muscle tone” presents in their kid? I’m wondering if this is what I’m seeing in my son, though the doctor has never mentioned it.[/quote] It sounds utterly bizarre to me honestly. How can one gauge contraction/tension when the body is not fully developed?[/quote] A physical therapist can assess. Little kids are very strong, or should be.[/quote] My DS has LMT though they've said it's fairly mild for him. It's been described as being "floppy" as a baby (like carrying a sack of potatoes as someone said). They have trouble sitting as babies and toddlers (sometimes the point to them W sitting because they can't maintain core stability). They slump and have rounded backs (again poor core stability). They may move around a lot because it's difficult to sit still in one position and sometimes teachers think they have ADHD. [/quote]
