In the assessment of children with cerebral palsy, what harm does it cause when doctors say that they have high muscle tension, that parents may wonder, and that children have high muscle tension? What’s the muscle tension? In response to these questions, Professor Chongwang, a specialist in cerebral palsy, will provide detailed answers:
What’s muscle tension? What grade?
The muscle tension, in short, is the force of myocellular traction. The muscle tension is the basis for maintaining the various positions of the body and normal exercise, and takes many forms, such as the muscle tension of the body ‘ s muscles, which is referred to as the static muscle tension during the rest of the body. When the body stands, it does not shrink significantly, but it also maintains a certain tension in its front and back muscles in order to maintain standing positions and physical stability, known as positional muscle tension. The muscle tension in the exercise, known as motor muscle tension, is an important factor in ensuring continuity and smoothness of the muscle movement (without tremors, convulsions, convulsions).
When muscle tension is high, the torso and limbs are rigid, joint activity is low, the body is soft when muscle tension is low, there is a feeling of unacceptability, and joint activity is high; when muscle tension is shaken, it creates a free movement. The muscle tension of the joint range can be divided into 0-4 and normal 0-year-olds.
Level of muscle tension:
Level 0: normal muscle tension;
Level 1: A slight increase in muscle tension: the lowest resistance at the end of the joint activity, or sudden jamming and sudden release at the end of the stretch;
1+: a slight increase in muscle tension: a sudden seizure within 50% of the joint activity followed by a minimal resistance of 50% of the joint activity;
Level 2: there is a more marked increase in muscle tension: for most of the time through joint activity, there is a more significant increase in muscle tension, but the burden is still easier to move;
Level 3: Severe increase in muscle tension: passive activity difficulties;
Level 4: Stereotyping: in a state of rigidity and inactivity at the time of the passive stretching of the tired part;
What are the methods of assessing muscle tension?
The method used to determine the muscle tension of the upper limbs is that a normal child with a normal muscle tension can be pulled directly to the position specified by the doctor, but a child with an abnormal muscle tension can be pulled to a given position by a circle, due to the rigidity of the body.
The method used to determine the tension of the lower limbs is that the child lies flat on the examination bed, ensuring that the child is relaxed, holding his or her ankle in one hand and his or her foot in one hand. In the process of a quick return of feet from the farthest possible to the nearest future, there has been no carton, no movement. The carton, the heterogeneity, is high. With low muscle tension, it feels heavy and unresistible.
What’s the point of reducing the muscle tension of a child with a cerebral palsy?
The reduction in the muscle tension of children with cerebral palsy is intended to address the physical convulsions of the child, which normally remain in a state of equilibrium, and if the cerebral palsy leads to a rise in muscle tension, which can lead to an increase in muscle strength between the muscles, resulting in muscle convulsions, rigidity and, as we call it, a convulsion.
For convulsive cerebral palsy, the most important core is the effective defusing of body muscle tension. In general, cerebral palsy is manifested in rigid limbs and discomfort, which is caused by high body muscle tension. The fundamental problem of a child ‘ s walking can be resolved if it is effectively removed. The best operation to remove a convulsion is a FSPR (functional selective spinal neurological post-separation), which allows for a comprehensive adjustment of the child ‘ s muscle tension to normality, while at the same time providing a stable, effective and complete relief from the child ‘ s pain, which is not easily reversible and does not affect the child ‘ s motor function.
Question: If the operation is so good, can we stop rehab training later?
The effect of the surgery is only to lay a good foundation for later rehabilitation training and, at the same time, to lay the foundation for rehabilitation by fundamentally and thoroughly reducing the muscle tension, leading to normality of the abnormal muscle tension, and eliminating the backlash of the muscle tension. The post-operative rehabilitation training has also been transformed from a reactive to a proactive one, which has enabled children to work better together and has greatly enhanced the rehabilitation. This has also resulted in an effective reduction in the duration of rehabilitation.
