Baby poor muscle tone?
A baby's or any human's muscle tone (tonus) is the balance of tension and relaxation of muscles required primarily to sit up or stand. Not how nice a baby or person's muscles appear or how strong they are, as the misnomer from the fitness industry describes. Babies first of all need enough muscle tone for their respiratory system to start breathing. Some babies have slow overall muscle tone development and take an unusually long time to stand or walk.
What are the symptoms of congenital myopathy?

What is the medical term meaning abnormal tone?
Dystonia is an abnormal condition of muscle tone. Some specific types of dystonia include atonia (no muscle tone); hypotonia (too little muscle tone); and hypertonia (too much muscle tone). Increased muscle tension can cause the muscle to go into spasm. This is called tetany. I don't know which term of muscle tone you are referring to, but I have cerebral palsy, so I can answer this easily. There are two terms that commonly describe abnormal muscle tone. One is hypertonia and the other is hypotonia. In hypertonia, too much tone enters the body. Muscles become stiff and sometimes stuck in certain positions (e.g. walking on the toes). In hypotonia, there is not enough tone to perform certain tasks. Muscles may act floppy or uncontrolled. Tone is very powerful, so a person who has problems typically cannot overcome it on their own.
