uMuscle tone is the general
state of contraction of the muscles.
uIf you have low muscle tone the
muscles are flaccid (relaxed).
uIf high muscle tone, the muscle is contracted.
uMuscle tone changes over
time, e.g. during a step
lMuscle tone is low as we pick up our leg
lMuscle tone is high on all
leg muscles as we prepare to put it back down and it has to support our weight
