Re: how to improve tone in the 11/2yr old atonic cp child

Hello gokul,
There are many things you can use to stimulate flaccid muscles. In general, you can use:
-tapping.
-scratching.
-massage.
-joint approximation.
-positioning.
-righting reactions if possible.
-wight bearing.
-balancing exercise if possible.
Some of the above do things beside normalizing muscle tone.
