Dystonia is a medical term meaning abnormal muscle tone.
If you are referring to lack of or poor muscle tone then "hypotonia" is the correct medical term for low tone, and "atony" for absent tone.
Tetany means sustained abnormal muscle contractions. Hypertonia refers to excess muscle tone.
Atonia is the term for no muscle tone. Hypotonia is the term used when discussing too little muscle tone. Hypertonia is the term used when discussing too much muscle tone.
Asonia is the medical term meaning: tone deafness. A person with this condition is referred to as "hearing impaired".
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.
Hypertonia is excessive tone of the skeletal muscle.Hypertonia (Hyper- means excessive, ton means tone, and -ia means condition)
Hypotonia is low muscle tone and underdevelopment of the muscles. Other terms for the condition include: Low Muscle Tone Benign Congenital Hypotonia Congenital Hypotonia Congenital Muscle Hypotonia Congenital Muscle Weakness Amyotonia Congenita Floppy Baby Syndrome Infantile Hypotonia
Like many medical words, this is a combination of Greek and Latin. The prefix "a" meaning "not" modifies the root "tonus" or (muscle) tone. "Atony" means a lack of muscle tone, as in "After 6 weeks in a cast, his leg was markedly atonic". The same root-word is used in "hypertonic", or over-tense muscle and in the term "tonic-clonic seizure" used to describe alternating involuntary contraction and relaxation of muscles.
