What Are The Physical Symptoms Of Hypotonia?

I have a 40 year old adult with hypotonia. I am looking for a list of physical symptoms and weaknesses that characterize this condition..most articles talk about the infant and child s needs but not as it applies to a adult. Can you help describe this condition for an adult.
