In children older than 10 years, the most common cause of limping is ankle sprain (Sty et al.). Overuse syndromes are caused by microtrauma; examples of overuse syndromes are stress fracture, Osgood-Schlatter disease, shin splints, Sever's disease, and chondromalacia patellae.
Hypotonia, or poor muscle tone, is usually detected at birth or during infancy. If your infant has hypotonia, he or she may appear limp at birth and not be able to keep his or her knees and elbows slightly bent. Your child may continue to struggle with feeding and motor skills. Many different diseases and disorders cause the symptoms of hypotonia. It is easily recognizable because it affects muscle strength, motor nerves, and the brain. However, diagnosing the disease or disorder that is causing the problem can be challenging. Hypotonia is sometimes called floppy muscle syndrome.
