Signs of high muscle tone:
1. The hands are often large and fist-shaped, with the thumbs clasped inwards. Massaging the back of his hand still makes it difficult to open his little hand.
2. When pulling the baby's limbs, the baby feels strong resistance and is difficult to pull apart or move. For example, it is difficult or impossible to pull the arms forward or lift them straight, and it is difficult to cross the chest.
3. The ankles are often buckled inwards and the toes are buckled downwards, in a scissors shape. Hold the baby on a hard surface with your hands on it, keeping your feet tucked in and on tiptoes.
4. When you touch the leg muscles, you will often find that the thigh and calf muscles grow unevenly in thickness and are hard, which can easily be mistaken for the strong muscles often said by the elderly.
5. It is difficult to open the fist when taking a bath. When the lower limbs are rigid and touch the bathtub or water surface, the child's whole body immediately becomes stiff.
