1. muscle tone

   Muscle tone, also known as muscle tension or tonus, is the continuous and passive partial contraction of muscles in a resting state, which helps to maintain posture and prevents sudden, uncontrolled movements. It is the ability of a muscle to remain slightly contracted even without an external stimulus and it's an important part of overall muscle strength and function. Lower levels of muscle tone may result in weakness and difficulty with movement, while higher levels may cause rigidity and difficulty with body positioning.
