how to improve tone in the 11/2yr old atonic cp child

[ramywhite]

Hello gokul,
There are many things you can use to stimulate flaccid muscles. In general, you can use:
-tapping.
-scratching.
-massage.
-joint approximation.
-positioning.
-righting reactions if possible.
-wight bearing.
-balancing exercise if possible.
Some of the above do things beside normalizing muscle tone.

i read ur question.i think to regain muscle tone roods approch is very effective.its basically stimulation of muscle by icing or by brushing,just brush the muscle from proximal to distal site te relax the muscle and to gain normal tone.but contact should be 2-3 strokes per sec.wid slow speed u gain the relaxation and fast speed increases the tone
