Causes increased muscle tone can be seen in cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, etc. Decreased muscle tone can be seen in peripheral neuritis, etc.
Increased muscle tone: touching muscles, solid feeling, increased resistance when flexing and extending limbs. It can be seen in cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, intracerebral tumor, spinal cord injury, hypercalcemia, tetanus and so on.
Decreased muscle tone: muscle flaccidity, decreased resistance when flexing and extending the limb, and increased range of joint movement can be seen in lower motor neuron lesions such as peripheral neuritis, anterior horn of the spinal cord gray matter inflammation, etc., cerebellar lesions such as cerebellar atrophy, and muscular origin diseases such as myasthenia gravis.
When abnormal muscle tone occurs, it is necessary to consult a doctor in a timely manner, after clarifying the cause of the disease, targeted treatment, to maximize the recovery of normal muscle tone in order to improve the quality of life.
