A | B |
crossed extension | flexion of opposing leg due to noxious stimulus |
flexor withdrawal | pulls leg away from noxious stimulus |
traction | increased muscle tone in arms when pulled to sit |
moro | extension & abduction of arms when head is dropped backwards |
rooting | turn head when lips are touched |
sucking-swallowing | occurs when pacifier is placed in mouth |
galant | stroking paraspinals causes lateral bending |
neonatal neck righting | turning the head causes log rolling |
neonatal body righting | turning the pelvis causes log rolling |
neonatal positive supporting | placing feet on floor causes partial weight bearing |
proprioceptive placing reaction for upper extremity | stroke back of hand causes flexion and then extension of arm |
proprioceptive placing reaction for lower extremity | stroke top of foot causes flexion and then extension of leg |
spontaneous stepping | leaning baby forward to stretch hip flexors causes immature walking |
palmar grasp | fingers curl when object placed in palm of hand |
plantar grasp | toes curl when pressure placed on ball of foot |
tonic labyrinthine reflex | prone causes increased flexor tone; supine causes increased extensor tone |
asymmetric tonic neck reflex | head rotated causes child to assume archer position |
symmetric tonic neck reflex | head in extenstion causes arm extension with leg flexion; head in flexion causes arms in flexion with legs in extension |
