Definition
Opposing or reducing muscle tone; in medicine, describing something that decreases the tension or rigidity in muscles.
Etymology
From anti- (against) + tonic (from Greek tonikos, relating to tone or tension). Medical term combining Greek elements to describe substances or conditions that lower muscle tonicity.
Kelly Says
Antitonic agents help patients with conditions like cerebral palsy or spasticity by easing the painful muscle stiffness that makes movement difficult—they're literally the opposite of a tonic that would tighten things up!
