What is the cause of baby's thumb adduction?

We need to use our hands for all activities. If a baby's thumb is retracted, it will affect the baby's daily life. Even when they grow up, it will affect their study and work. As parents, we all hope that our children can be healthy, so we have compiled some knowledge here. Let us now understand what is going on with baby's thumb adduction?

Hands are important organs of the human body, responsible for performing more than 80% of movement tasks. The hands can make hundreds of millions of different movements, and these movements are closely connected to thinking activities. The flexible movements of the fingers can fully stimulate the cerebral cortex and promote the balanced development of brain intelligence. It can be said that a smart brain and dexterous hands, and dexterous hands can improve the brain.

With the refinement of finger movements, the coordination between eyes, hands and brain is gradually strengthened, which is also of great help to the development of baby's language, vision, hearing, touch, etc.

However, thumb adduction (abbreviated as hallux adductus) under pathological conditions will affect the baby's fine motor development and must be corrected in time. However, to discover this "little problem" of the baby, it first depends on the parents' attentiveness, and secondly, it tests the parents' cognitive ability. The above-mentioned parents can be said to be very careful and responsible.

The general symptoms of congenital cerebral palsy in children include increased muscle tone and difficulty in abduction. In severe cases of cerebral palsy, muscle rigidity, contracture, and joint flexion may be seen. In mild cases, fine motor skills of the hands are poor and the heels cannot touch the ground when walking. Most patients have language development, articulation disorders and strabismus, and about one-third of patients have varying degrees of convulsions and intellectual disabilities. However, cerebral palsy in children does not mean mental retardation. 25% of children have completely normal intelligence, and the remaining 75% have varying degrees of intellectual disabilities. Therefore, you must choose a good hospital for treatment to achieve good results.

The above is an introduction to the situation of baby's thumb adduction. This symptom is also a symptom of cerebral palsy in children. Therefore, in order not to affect the baby's future life, we must be good at observing the baby's daily life. If you find any abnormality in their hands, take your baby to the hospital for examination in time. Is this condition caused by cerebral palsy?
