Hypotonia (from the Greek hyper - strengthening, tonos - tension) is a decrease in the contractility of smooth muscles and skeletal muscles, associated either with a violation of motor innervation by the central nervous system, or with a change in the contractile properties of muscle fibers. In this case, there is a decrease in performance, endurance, muscle mass, muscle volume, and muscle strength. The causes of hypotonic conditions can be mental and physical overload. They are often combined with asthenic syndrome.

The most common cause of the symptom is Schroth's disease, or idiopathic progressive muscular atrophy. This is a rare genetic disease that belongs to the group of neuromuscular diseases with predominant damage to the anterior columns of the spinal cord. The cause of this disease is
