There is no objective instrument to measure whether the muscle tone is too high or not, it is entirely based on the doctor’s feeling and experience, and sometimes the baby may be wrongly judged as having high muscle tone if he or she does not cooperate, for example, the baby is reluctant and his or her legs are tensed up during the examination. In addition, when a child stands, he or she is on his or her toes at first, but usually he or she will slowly flatten his or her feet; however, a child with high muscle tone will always stand on his or her tiptoes like that, and even if you press down with your hand, you may not be able to flatten his or her feet. Children with high muscle tone have tighter muscles than normal children and move more rigidly. When changing diapers, a normal child should be able to open both legs to 120 degrees, but a child with high muscle tone cannot open them. A four-month-old child will jump when asked to stand on an adult’s belly, but a child with high muscle tone will only stand straight and sink his toes into the adult’s flesh; when a baby with high muscle tone takes a bath, the moment he approaches the tub, his fists are clenched and his whole body is tense and rigid. Children with high muscle tone are more easily irritated, startled by the sound, continue to cry, have difficulty falling asleep, have difficulty inserting their arms into the sleeves when dressing, have difficulty breaking their fists when bathing, and when the lower limbs just angle to the bath tub or water surface, the child’s whole body immediately becomes rigid position. In children with high muscle tone, the lower limbs are straight and crossed inward, in a scissor-like position. Your child is only one month old now, there are many problems that can be solved through training. The child’s head can basically stand upright when he or she is more than two months old, and he or she can turn over at three months. If your baby does not meet the above requirements, you can take him to the children’s hospital for a neurological examination. This is because high muscle tone can be related to neurological underdevelopment of the brain. Early intervention from three months to six months will have a multiplier effect on your child’s recovery.
