How do you elicit the tilting reaction?
Slow shifting of base of support or slow displacement of body in space
What is the tilting reaction?
lateral flexion of the spine, abduction of the extremities, and sometimes rotation of the trunk to the same side

Infant held in ventral suspension
When is symmetric tonic neck reflex present?
6-8 months
what elicits symmetric tonic neck reflex?
extension of cervical joints or flexion of cervical joints
What occurs in symmetric tonic neck reflex (extension of cerv)
extension of upper extremities and flexion of lower extremities
What occurs in symmetric tonic neck reflex (flexion of cerv)
flexion of upper extremities and extension of lower extremities
When is the body reacting reaction acting on body occur?
6-8 months
Does the body righting reaction acting on body persist throughout life?
yes
What is the body righting reaction acting on the body cause?
rolling over with rotation between pelvis and trunk
How is the body righting reaction acting on the body elicited?
Rotation of head or thorax
When does body righting reaction acting on the head occur?
4-6 months
What elicits body righting reaction acting on the head?
body contact with solid surface
What does body righting reaction acting on the head cause?
head righting with respect to gravity
Is body righting reaction acting on the head persistent throughout life?
Yes
What occurs with protective extension?
Extension of LE downwards or extension of UE in the sitting position to catch weight
What elicits protective extension?
Quick displacement of trunk in a downward direction or while sitting in a forward, sideward, or backward direction
