What is the reason for the high muscle tone in my baby?

Introduction: In daily life, babies with high muscle tone are typically emotional, crying, easily frightened, and difficult to fall asleep. So, what is the reason for the high muscle tone in babies? Next, I will tell you about it.

In daily life, babies with high muscle tone are typically emotional, often crying, frightened, and have difficulty sleeping, having difficulty reaching their arms into their sleeves when wearing clothes, and tearing their fists when bathing. Therefore, if the baby has these manifestations, parents must pay attention to it. Some babies may have their feet stiff because they are not cooperative.

In addition, when the baby stands, the toes touch the ground first, and then slowly level the feet; However, babies with high muscle tone have been straightening their feet and pressing down on their feet with their hands and cannot flatten them. Babies with high muscle tone usually have tighter muscles than normal babies, so they harden after activity. Usually, a baby's feet can be spread up to about 120 degrees.

However, the infantile patient with high muscle tone cannot be opened, his feet will be kept inward, and he will even tiptoe.

1. Visual impairment: about 20% of children with high muscle tone have eye impairment. 2. Intellectual and emotional problems:

The rate of mental retardation is extremely high, emotionally unstable, and IQ is difficult to measure. 3. Language disorder: Pediatric hypertonia is caused by factors such as vocal and articulation organ movement disorders.

4. Children's hearing impairment varies from treble to bass, which needs to be paid attention to by parents. 5. Hearing impairment (health and physical impairment) Children with high muscle tone are generally shorter than children of normal height, have poor nutrition, and are often accompanied by breathing disorders and are prone to respiratory tract infections. 6. Abnormal posture:

Affects athletic performance in adulthood. For example, when the affected upper limb is forcefully flexed or extended, it causes the contralateral upper limb to be forcefully flexed or extended. Strong flexion of the upper limb on the affected side, causing tonic stretching of the ipsilateral lower extremity.

Finally, if you want to know that the baby's death is not due to high muscle tone, you can let the baby lie on his back, stretch his legs straight, try to pull his legs to the sides, and observe the angle between the thighs. If your baby's muscles are highly tenacious, it will be difficult for him to break his legs.

This may be due to a lack of oxygen or slowing of fetal movements during pregnancy, which can cause brain damage and increased muscle tone after the baby is born.

It may be due to premature birth, it may be due to some damage to the skull or brain, or it may be infected, so the baby will have this problem.

There are many reasons for high muscle tone in children, and this is not a bad thing, but it is important to pay attention to market observation. You can give your child a comprehensive physical examination.

.The tension of the muscles at rest and relaxation is called muscle tone, which is the basis for maintaining the various postures and normal movements of the body. People with high muscle tone may exhibit abnormal posture both when exercising and at rest.

When the baby is sideways, he often tilts his head back and bends his legs, just like a C-word, which is called angular arch reflex in medicine, which is more common in babies with high muscle tone and cerebral palsy. I would like to ask you, can your baby's legs and knees be bent, if not, you should take your child to the hospital immediately.

Hypoxia is considered to cause cerebral cell edema, increased intracranial pressure, and in severe cases, irritability, crying, limb twitching, tremor, eye gaze, and, in the most severe cases, projectile vomiting. Hospitalization** is recommended. I'm a doctor.
