Signs of high muscle tone in babies

Newborn babies have a higher chance of getting sick because when they are a few months old, their bodies are not well developed, and their resistance and immunity are not as strong as those of adults. As a result, they will suffer from various diseases that we can't imagine. Therefore, parents must pay close attention to babies in this period to avoid very troublesome consequences. Next, let us learn about the manifestations of high muscle tone in babies.

In recent years, the incidence of high muscle tone in babies has gradually increased. The appearance of high muscle tone in babies has a great impact on the physical health of the children. In order to better treat your baby's high muscle tone, it is important to understand the symptoms of your baby's high muscle tone. The symptoms of high muscle tone in babies are an important basis for early detection and early treatment of the disease. Starting from the symptoms and providing targeted treatment to patients, the effect will be better.

Methods/Steps

1. In daily life, this is a typical manifestation. Children with high muscle tone are often more irritable, startled by sounds, crying continuously, having trouble falling asleep, having difficulty inserting their arms into sleeves when dressing, having difficulty opening their fists when bathing, and their whole body immediately becomes stiff when their lower limbs enter the bathtub or the water. Babies with high muscle tone have their lower limbs straightened, adducted and crossed in a scissor shape. When your baby shows the above symptoms, everyone must pay attention.

2. Sometimes babies will have muscle tension. There is no objective instrument to measure whether the muscle tension is too high. It depends entirely on the doctor's touch and experience. Sometimes the baby's lack of cooperation may be misjudged as a manifestation of high muscle tension. For example, during the examination, the baby is unwilling and his legs are stretched straight. In addition, when the child stands, he always stands on tiptoe, but generally the child will slowly put his feet flat. However, children with high muscle tension will always stand on tiptoe like that, and you may not be able to put his feet flat even if you press down with your hands.

3. In addition to the above symptoms, babies with high muscle tone have tighter muscles than those of ordinary children and are more difficult to move, which is also a manifestation of high muscle tone in babies. When changing diapers, most children's legs should be able to open to 120 degrees, but children with high muscle tone cannot open their legs. A baby over four months old will jump when asked to stand on an adult's belly, but a baby with high muscle tone will only stand straight and use his toes to sink into the adult's flesh. So everyone must discover it early and treat it early.

I hope that people will pay more attention to high muscle tone because it can cause great harm to patients. Babies have high muscle tone, which is the basis for maintaining various postures and normal movements of the body, and manifests itself in various forms. When a person lies down to rest, the tension in the muscles of various parts of the body is called resting muscle tension. When the body stands, although there is no obvious muscle contraction, the front and back muscles of the body also maintain a certain tension to maintain the standing posture and body stability, which is called postural muscle tension. The tension of muscles during exercise is called motor muscle tension, which is an important factor in ensuring continuous and smooth muscle movement (without tremors, twitches, or spasms). High muscle tone is manifested as lower limbs extending, adducting, crossing, and forming a scissors shape. If your baby has high muscle tone, he may suffer from cerebral palsy. Since this condition is very dangerous, I hope he can be sent to the hospital in time. The concept of high muscle tone in babies has been introduced from abroad in recent years. High muscle tone is common and often indicates varying degrees of brain damage in babies, and may also be nerve damage. Symptoms are already present in one-month-old babies. Symptoms of high muscle tone: 1. Large hands often in a fist shape with the thumbs curled inward.

There are many manifestations of high muscle tone in babies. It can be clearly seen that there are big differences between sick babies and normal babies. Therefore, parents must always pay attention to their baby's physical changes. If they find anything wrong, they must send their baby to the best hospital for treatment in the shortest time, so that the disease can get better as soon as possible.
