How can I tell if my newborn muscle tone is too high? From where can it be seen?

Infants have higher physiological muscle tone, which is manifested by higher muscle tone in the flexor muscle groups, that is, the hands are clenched close to the body, the lower limbs are flipped upward, the whole head is forward, and the whole body is bent inward. When performing a physical examination, a moderate increase in muscle tone can be observed, which is due to the imperfect deployment of extensor muscle groups in infant sports centers. This is normal if you can relax or exercise moderately while sleeping.

<> If the patient is still unable to turn over and lift his head after 3 months, it is a pathological disease and brain disease should be excluded. When the child's muscle tone is high, the child's muscle contact will have a firm feeling, and when the limbs are extended and flexed, the resistance will increase. Such as:

Full moon old man on the head of the child's back, correcting difficulties; The children sat with their heads up, struggling to stand, bowing back; Babies often have "stiff" hands and feet; The four-month-old clenched fist and pressed the thumb on the palm; Children walk in a "scissor-like" gait to stretch the child's limbs, with greater resistance at first, and then the resistance suddenly weakens, resulting in a folding knife; Some children have "stiff lead tubes or gears" in their limbs and may also have a variety of unusual postures. If your child's muscle tone is high, it will manifest as stiffness in the limbs, problems with motor function, such as unsteadiness or inability to walk, and consider the possibility of brain damage. Know the birth of the child, and there is no history of intrauterine hypoxia or birth asphyxia, which can cause brain damage to the child.

Other inborn errors of metabolism, preterm birth, adverse drug reactions, and other causes may contribute to brain damage.

Do a detailed explanation of the problem for a detailed interpretation of the problem, I hope it will help you, if you have any questions, you can leave me a message in the comment area, you can comment with me a lot, if there is something wrong, you can also interact with me more, if you like the author, you can also follow me, your like is the biggest help to me, thank you. That's all for sharing, if you like me, please follow me. If you guys have any ideas, you can let us know in the comments below.

If the baby's movements are stiff and it is difficult to fall asleep, if he is unable to maintain normal balance when walking, and is prone to convulsions, these may be due to the child's symptoms of hypertonia.

Such children are easily irritated, often crying, have difficulty falling asleep, and are often accompanied by stiffness in their limbs. When the child is given a bend of one upper limb to the opposite shoulder, the elbow is often unable to cross the midline.

You can open the baby's legs to see how far the baby's legs can be opened, and you can judge according to this situation.

Introduction: Baby's muscle tone is too high will affect the baby's IQ, so, how can parents tell if the newborn's muscle tone is too high in life? Is there any easy way to do this? Next, I will introduce it to you.

The tension of the musculature can be felt by touching the muscles of the upper and lower limbs of the child (biceps and triceps brachii of the upper extremity, gastrocnemius and quadriceps of the lower extremity). If your child's muscle tone is low, the hand will feel soft and relaxed, and there will be less resistance to finger compression. If the muscle tone is normal, it feels moderately soft to the touch, firm and elastic.

If the muscle tone is high, the hand will feel tense and have a strong resistance to finger presses. By holding the baby, you can get a preliminary idea of the child's muscle tension. Children with hypotonia will experience difficulty and sinking when being picked up, and the child will easily slip out of the tester's hands.

A spasmodic baby will feel stiff and resistant when picked up.

The tester performs passive flexion and extension exercises on the limbs. If muscle tone is low, they will feel heavy, have no resistance, and have no self-control in their limbs. If the muscle tone is high, the test subject will feel a significant resistance that tends to be greater at the beginning of the exercise than at the end of the exercise.

When doing passive exercises, limbs with normal muscle tone can not only resist, but also cooperate with each other. Within a certain range, they have the ability to control themselves. The subject's hand feel is neither as heavy as a limb with low muscle tone nor as strong as a limb with high muscle expansion.

If abnormal muscle tone is found in children, the cause should be identified as soon as possible and targeted **** should be given.

In addition to the above symptoms, babies with high muscle tone have tighter muscles and work harder than the average child, which is also a sign of high muscle tone. When changing diapers, the average child's legs should be able to open to 120 degrees, while babies with high muscle tension can't open. Children over the age of four months will jump when they stand on an adult's stomach, but children with high infant muscle tone will only stand up straight and sink their toes into the adult's flesh.

So be sure to detect it early, early**.

It can be judged by the child's reaction, and it is also necessary to touch the child's muscles, if it feels particularly stiff, it proves that the muscle tone is particularly high.

You can look at some of the baby's emotions and behaviors, if the baby is very easily irritated and is very difficult to fall asleep, then there may be excessive muscle tone.

I think it can be judged by the newborn's physical aspect, diet, work and rest, behavior and mental aspect.

It can be judged by symptoms, and if the newborn often likes to lean back after three months of birth, it is an early symptom, or it can also be judged by examination.

Muscle tone is actually a force produced by muscle cells pulling on each other. In simple terms, it refers to the degree of tension in the muscles in a quiet and relaxed state. There are many causes of hypertonia, such as maternal factors, fetal factors, health factors, and postnatal factors, such as central nervous system infection, poisoning, etc.

You can take your child to the doctor, and you can judge it by means of a professional instrument, or you can judge it according to your child's daily behavior. When a problem arises, it is necessary to solve it in a timely manner.

It can be judged according to the baby's physical aspects, diet, work and rest, mental and developmental aspects. Because these aspects are very important to the baby, and will also reflect whether a baby's body is healthy, so parents must pay attention to these aspects, and when the child has this situation, parents must take the child to the hospital to check the body, because this is a very serious disease, if not checked in time, the consequences are unimaginable.

It can be judged by the muscle strength of the newborn. Pay attention to the reaction of the newborn, pay attention to the state of the newborn, but also pay attention to the ** of the newborn, and also pay attention to the muscle strength of the newborn.

Hypertonia means that the ordinary muscle tone is higher than the general normal value, and the harm of hypertonia to the patient is relatively large, so it should be carried out in time**.

It refers to the fact that the tone of ordinary muscles is beyond the normal range, and clinical manifestations appear, and the value of muscle tone is higher than the normal value.

It may be that the baby's body muscles are too contractile, which will make it difficult for the body to bend and there is no way to move normally.

It can be judged by the way of testing, and it is also necessary to see the child's reaction, if the child can put his feet flat, it is normal to not cry, but if the child's muscles are particularly stiff and cannot be flattened, this degree is more serious.

You can place your child's body naturally after your child is asleep, and then observe the lines of your child's body to judge muscle tone, which is divided into different situations of hypertonia and hypotonia.

When the baby is completely relaxed after falling asleep, you can deduce the resistance of the little hand to open, if the resistance is too great and it is difficult to open the little hand, then the baby's muscle tone is relatively high, and abnormal muscle tone can cause health problems in children.
