What are the reasons for high muscle tension in the baby's arms?

Parents are very concerned about the development and growth of their babies. If they find any problems, they will deal with them in time. In life, many parents report that their babies are very strong. The strength is determined by the individual's physique. A strong baby will naturally have great strength, which shows that the baby is very healthy. However, if the strength is too great, it is likely to be caused by pathology.

First, what are the reasons for the high muscle tone of the baby's arms? The baby is very strong, it is possible that the baby has high muscle tone. High muscle tone is an abnormal phenomenon. Let's first take a look at what muscle tone is. The meaning of muscle tone, in simple terms, is the "strength" that a baby can exert when exercising. The human body has flexor muscles and extensor muscles. Flexors keep the body in a curled position; extensors keep the body in an upright position. High muscle tone in infants refers to high extensor muscle tone, which means that the child is in a straight or even back position.

Second, the muscle tone is too high, which is manifested in stiffness and strength. The child can stand straight at a very young age, and cannot even bend his arms. Some children have difficulty inserting their arms into the sleeves when dressing, separating their legs when changing diapers, and opening their fists when bathing. When their lower limbs touch the bathtub or the water surface, the child's whole body immediately becomes stiff. High muscle tone in infants is often related to cerebral palsy, and you can consult the pediatric neurology and rehabilitation departments. Regardless of the cause, high muscle tone should be treated with systematic and regular rehabilitation training under the guidance of a professional doctor (usually a rehabilitation doctor).
