During the period after the birth of a baby, the small hands always show a tightly clenched state, and as the baby grows older, the small hands will gradually open and close. But some babies rarely exhibit such movements. So, what should children do if they can't open their hands?
1. Newborns in the neonatal stage spend most of their time in a fist clenched state, rarely opening their hands. During sleep, babies may also show mild hand clenching, but their thumbs are usually placed outside of other fingers, and occasionally they can naturally open and then clench again. If this is the case, parents need not be overly nervous, as it is a normal physiological phenomenon during infancy.
2. As the baby grows older, if it is found that the baby's small hands are still tightly held and the thumb is wrapped by the other four fingers, rarely spontaneously opening, this should be considered an abnormal situation. It is possible that the baby has high muscle tone, indicating the cause of brain lesions. It is necessary to go to the pediatric department of the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
3. If it is confirmed that the baby's hand cannot be opened due to high muscle tension, intervention treatment should be carried out as soon as possible under the guidance of the doctor, such as comprehensive rehabilitation training methods such as large sports training, acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, etc., to improve the adverse symptoms as much as possible. The high tension of Baobao muscle is mainly caused by brain injury, and early systematic and standardized intervention treatment can achieve relatively better rehabilitation effects.
