Hypertonia in children can be caused by many different diseases. The most common etiology is cerebral palsy. Spasticity and dystonia are the most common types of hypertonia. There are few options for treatment, and usually treatment has an incomplete effect. Therefore, it is necessary to prioritize goals in order to improve overall functional outcome. The use of any intervention will require the ability to verify the magnitude and importance of the outcome in order to ensure that therapy is efficacious. In general, a complex, flexible, and multifaceted approach will be necessary to improve the motor abilities of children with hypertonia.
