Case:The baby is now 10 months old and cannot stand up and crawl on his hands and knees, but can only crawl forward and touch the ground on his toes. A doctor's physical examination reveals poor muscle tone in the lower extremities. Currently doing **training and massage**. The baby raises his head at 3 months, the adult at 4 months puts his legs over and turns over by himself, turns over freely at 6 months, sits at 7 months, rolls at 8 months, climbs in circles at 9 months, and crawls forward at 10 months. It is necessary for an adult to sit up and press the leg on his own. She was able to sit steadily for more than an hour. She can move things from side to side, and her arms can support her upper body. The baby has not had a physical examination before, so it was found relatively late. Today, she did her first training. During the massage.
She cried so badly, her hair shaking, and she gritted her teeth. Is it normal?Your baby's fine language cognition is well developed. He can pinch toys, drink water through a straw, call his father, shake hands and say goodbye, and recognize things and faces. We didn't think about poor muscle tone before, and the baby usually feels good and quiet. When he changed diapers and wore pants, his legs were very lively, and his legs did not open to 180 degrees. Is it difficult to exercise with low muscle tone?Is it harder than high muscle tone?Can actively train your baby to catch up with his peers?How long does it take to see visible results after training?
A:From the above description, your child should have developmental delay and low muscle tone in the lower limbs caused by heavy exercise.
Low muscle tone Is it difficult to practice low muscle tone to produce results?Is it harder than high muscle tone?A:In general, babies with low muscle tone train more slowly than babies with high muscle tone. But it's not absolute. It also depends on what is causing the low muscle tone. But for parents, whatever the cause of hypotonia, they should intervene first. The earlier the intervention, the better the effect. I support your decision to intervene first.
If we actively train our babies, will we be able to catch up with their peers?
A:I think it is possible to catch up with peers, but in addition to the formal intervention of the hospital, parents should also carry out family training, and the effect will be more significant if family training and teacher training are carried out at the same time.
How long does it take to see noticeable results after training?
A:It varies from person to person, and most of them have obvious results after 3 months, but there are also individual differences. What parents can do now is to get involved in formal hospitals. The sooner the better. 1.The baby has not had a physical examination before, so it was found relatively late. Today is the first time he has done ** training. When he was massaged, he cried so badly, his head trembled, and he gritted his teeth. Is it normal?- Things that were not discovered in time have passed, so don't think about it. If we find them now, we should take immediate action. At first, children will be scared and uncooperative, especially those aged 6-12 months. Parents should give more verbal comfort and comfort, and do not worry too much. Gradually help the child eliminate the fear, or put some ** to help soothe. When they get used to it, it's much better.
Is hypotonia cerebral palsy?
A:Based on the current manifestations alone, cerebral palsy cannot be diagnosed. It depends on the effect and reason of the intervention. And whether it is cerebral palsy or not, the current ** measures should be formal intervention. Electromyography is used to find the cause and distinguish between muscle problems and nerve problems.
Muscle tone is mainly measured by a doctor or a *** division. **The angle in the medium is not representative and cannot be used as a reference, because wearing pants will interfere, and the strength used is not the same as that of the doctor. If it doesn't work for a month, do I need to find out why?Yes, do further checking. There will be different effects of the intervention for different reasons.
