|
Palmar Grasp Reflex -place examiner's finger in infant's palm -finger flexion; reflexive grasp -interferes with releasing object |
|
|
Asymmeric Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) -Fully rotate infant's head and hold for 5 seconds -extension of extremities on the face side -flexion of extremities on the skull side -interferes with reaching and grasping, bilateral hand use, and rolling |
|
|
Neck on Body (NOB) - place infant in supine and fully turn head to one side - log rolling of the entire body to maintain alignment with the head -maintains head/body alignment; initiates rolling |
|
|
Body Righting Reaction on Body (BOB) -place infant in supine, flex on hip and knee toward the chest and hold briefly -segmental rolling of he upper trunk to maintain alignment -facilitates trunk/spinal rotation |
|
|
Optical Righting Reaction -pull infant from laying position upward -upright positioning of the head should occur -orients head in space ; maintains face vertical |
|
|
Landau Reaction -hold infant in horizontal prone suspension -complete extension of head, trunk, and extremities -slows development of prone extension, sitting, and standing -early onset may indicate excessive tone or spasticity -breaks up flexor dominance |
|
|
Protective Extension Reaction Forward -suddenly tip infant forward toward supporting surface while vertically suspended -sudden extension of the upper extremities, hand opening, and neck extension -interferes with head protection when center of gravity is displaced -allows accurate placement of upper extremities in anticipation of supporting surface to prevent a fall |
|
|
Protective Extension Reflex Sideways -quickly but firmly tip infant off balance to the side while in the sitting position -arm extension and abduction to the side -protects body to prevent a fall -supports body for unilateral use of opposite arm -interferes with head protection when center of gravity is displaced |
|
|
Protective Extension Reaction Backward -quickly but firmly tip infant off balance backward from sitting position -backward arm extension or arm extension to one side spinal rotation -protects body to prevent fall -unilaterally facilitates -interferes with head protection when center of gravity is displaced |
|
|
Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR) -place infant in supine --> increases extensor tone (fetal position; physiological flexion) -place infant in prone --> increases flexor tone -facilitates total body flexor or extensor tone depending on positioning -interferes with turning on side, rolling over, going from lying to sitting position, and crawling -interferes with ability to hold in supine flexion or assume a pivot prone position in older children |
