Which of the following is NOT listed as a Tone Inhibition technique in the material?

• A. Pharmacologic sedation
• B. Weight Bearing
• C. Joint approximations
• D. Taping

Answer: (A)

The concept here is how tone inhibition is achieved through sensory and mechanical strategies rather than drugs. Weight bearing and joint approximations provide proprioceptive input that helps dampen hyperactive muscles and support better alignment, while taping offers tactile/proprioceptive cues that can modulate tone and movement patterns. Pharmacologic sedation, though it can affect overall muscle tone, is a pharmacological intervention rather than a described tone inhibition technique in the material. It isn’t part of the nonpharmacologic methods used to influence tone, so it stands out as not being listed among the tone inhibition techniques.
