POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. Many children with low muscle tone have delays in their gross motor development (e.g. rolling, sitting, walking). Low muscle tone may be caused by problems with the nerves or muscles. Often the low muscle tone is idiopathic, which means the cause is unknown.But sometimes, there's no cure for the problem that causes hypotonia.
