Abstract
Currently, the importance of muscle tone (postural tone) is not widely considered in rehabilitation-related occupations. In this paper, we discuss the importance of the control of postural tone and explain how to measure it, particularly with regard to the front of the trunk muscles. It is important to improve palpation techniques and closely observe patients in order to measure postural tone of the trunk muscles.
