What is a primary goal of normalizing tone?

• A. To normalize movement and promote postural control
• B. To cure neurological disorders
• C. To increase appetite
• D. To improve color vision

Answer: (A)

Normalizing tone aims to bring muscle tone to a functional level so movement and postural control can be more efficient. When tone is either too high or too low, movement becomes stiff, uncoordinated, or unstable, making tasks like reaching, standing, or walking awkward. By guiding tone toward normal levels, the nervous system can organize muscle activation more smoothly, improving joint alignment and steadiness during daily activities. That's why the main goal is to enhance movement and postural control. It isn’t about curing neurological disorders, increasing appetite, or changing color vision.
