Does high muscle tone go down on its own, and what are the consequences of high muscle tone?

Hypertonia does not disappear spontaneously, and the cause of hypertonia is an organic disorder, such as cogwheel or lead tube hypertonia, which is usually an extrapyramidal lesion and is more common in Parkinson's disease or Parkinsonism. If there is no resting tremor, the patient has lead-tubular hypertonia, and tremor is cogwheel hypertonia, which is chronic, progressively worsening, not relieving on its own, and only getting worse with age.

If it is a knife-like muscle tension, it is more common in various cerebrovascular diseases or sequelae of brain trauma, and the patient has definite brain injury, resulting in spastic paralysis of the patient's upper limbs and lower limbs, resulting in increased knife-like muscle tone, and the symptoms will persist, and the symptoms can be slightly improved after **, but will not be completely relieved. For increased muscle tone, drugs can be used, such as dopaserzide, pramipexole, etc., for Parkinson's disease, and increased knife-like muscle tone, baclofen, compound chlorzoxazone, etc.

Increased muscle tone can lead to adverse consequences such as spasms and stiffness. 1. Spasticity: It can be caused by disorders of the pyramidal system, such as Wilson's disease.

Pyramidal system damage, such as cerebrovascular disease, or certain peripheral neuropathy, such as facial spasm, etc. It is a movement disorder characterized by a stretch reflex, a hyperexcitability of the traction reflex, an increased speed-dependent tension stretch reflex, and tendon hyperreflexia. When the joints are passively moved, patients with spasticity feel a lot of resistance at first, and when they move to a certain point, the resistance suddenly decreases.

This condition is called the knife phenomenon and is a common phenomenon of spasticity. 2. Rigidity: that is, stiffness, which is mostly caused by extrapyramidal injury.

It means that when the passive joint is moved in either direction, the resistance at the beginning and end of the movement is the same for the same plexus muscle, that is, the reed loss tension of the agonist muscle and the antagonist muscle increases at the same time. If there is a consistent feeling of resistance in the range of motion of the joint, it is called spinal rigidity and can be seen in scissor gait after hemiplegia and myelitis after stroke. If there is alternating recurrence of resistance and no resistance, it is called cogwheel rigidity.

Patients are advised to pay attention to rest, develop good living habits, and refrain from eating raw, cold and spicy food.

Hypertonia can lead to muscle soreness, limited movement, abnormal posture, and other consequences. Hypertonia may be related to neurological disorders, and it is recommended to go to the neurology department of the hospital as soon as possible for examination, and actively treat the symptoms after identification**.

1. Muscle soreness: When the muscle tone is too high, the patient's muscles will be in a state of contraction and spasm for a long time, resulting in muscle soreness;

2. Restricted activity: excessive muscle tone will cause local muscles to be in a state of spasm and rigidity, which is usually uncontrollable, which will then lead to the patient's inability to complete a certain action normally and the phenomenon of limited activity;

3. Abnormal posture: Most patients with hypertonia will manifest abnormal posture due to muscle rigidity and tension, such as straightening, adduction and crossing, and scissor-shaped lower limbs.
