English term

extensor tone

English to Norwegian Medical Medical (general)
Jack is an 11 year old boy with Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia, a genetic condition where the cerebellum fails to develop properly resulting in uncoordinated movement. Jack has frequent increases in extensor tone, fluctuating head control and spastic hip adduction. Jack’s existing chair is becoming too small for him, and he frequently gets his arms stuck by extending them behind the chair. He also has a tendency to get his head stuck around the headrest. In addition Jack’s parents are keen for a seating system in which Jack can be seen first!
