Patient's question:
The baby is now 13 and a half months old. At one year old, it was discovered that the lower limbs had high muscle tone. Previously, the baby couldn't sit steadily and couldn't crawl. The MRI expert said there was nothing wrong and recommended rehabilitation. Now, at home, the baby does nothing but rehabilitation and crawling exercises. Currently, the baby can only crawl on its stomach, and it crawls very little each day, only about 50 meters.Doctor's answer:
General muscle tension issues are associated with brain damage, but the extent varies. If it is confirmed that there is a problem with muscle tension, immediate treatment must be initiated, aiming to seek treatment at the optimal time. A head CT can be performed to confirm the extent of the damage. For isolated high muscle tension, only rehabilitation treatment can be administered, such as massage and hydrotherapy. If there is brain damage, it is recommended to use neurosugars like gangliosides or neurotrophins. For ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy, it is necessary to strengthen functional recovery exercises.
