Nursing methods for infants with high muscle tension in their limbs

In fact, in daily life, many people are not careful in taking care of their babies. This is not good for their babies and may even cause high muscle tone in their limbs. So let us learn about the care methods for babies with high muscle tone in their limbs.

Care methods:

The biggest feature of hypertonia type cerebral palsy is that the patient loses the ability to control his limbs, so daily care of cerebral palsy is something that every cerebral palsy family needs to learn.

Experts in cerebral palsy point out that the care of cerebral palsy patients requires the right methods. First, the patient's ability to do things by himself should be nurtured. On the other hand, the patient's body is relatively stiff and the care should be cautious:

1. Daily care for cerebral palsy should develop effective intervention plans based on the different ages and levels of children, try to use assistance and gradually reduce assistance, and truly develop the self-care ability of children with cerebral palsy. It can also be regarded as a method of rehabilitation training for children with cerebral palsy.

2 When putting on and taking off clothes, generally choose the limb with the more serious impairment first to reduce associated reactions and avoid unnecessary difficulties.

3. If the child shows obvious resistance when extending or flexing his/her limbs, the movements should be gentle and slow. The limbs can be slowly loaded with weight, pulled and rotated in a normal position.

4 In addition, children with cerebral palsy have poor balance ability when sitting or standing. They are prone to leaning forward, backward or sideways when sitting or standing. Therefore, when putting on or taking off clothes in this position, avoid applying downward pressure on their head and arms. You can moderately control their spine or hip girdle to give the child a certain sense of security.

5. In the process of cultivating the ability of children with cerebral palsy to put on and take off clothes, we should focus on strengthening their control of the head, hands and eyes, so that children can learn to observe the process and actively cooperate to enhance their own abilities.

6 Daily care for cerebral palsy also includes diet. Attention should be paid to the balanced absorption of various nutrients and foods containing excessive amounts of aluminum and lead should be avoided.

The above article introduces in detail the care methods for babies with high muscle tone in their limbs. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so in daily life, if such a situation occurs, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for further examination in time.
