10 Dyspraxia Symptoms
Symptom #2: Hypotonia
Hypotonia refers to a state of low muscle tone where there is often reduced muscle strength. It is not a disorder but rather a manifestation of various diseases that potentially affect muscle strength or motor nerve control.
In some individuals with dyspraxia, the presence of hypotonia and low muscle tone also detrimentally affects their balance and worsens coordination. Hypotonia can also contribute to speech difficulties as they experience issues in the mouth and jaw that potentially affects pronunciation and lowers self-esteem.
