6
Q

Q

describe Plantar Reflex

aka ________

9
Q

describe Moro Reflex

A

position: supine

12
Q

describe

Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (STNR)

A

position: supine over examiner’s knees or quadruped
test: passive or active neck extension and flexion
repsonse: neck extension produces UE extension and LE flexion, neck flexion causes UE flexion and LE extension

13
Q

describe

Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR)

A

position: supine, prone
test: passively attempt to lift child’s head from surface
response: supine - extensor tone dominates in body; prone - flexor tone dominates in body
* Landau Reflex (vertical suspension)

14
Q

describe Rooting Reflex

A

position: supine
test: stroke perioral skin at corners of the mouth toward cheek. stroke upper lip toward cheek. stroke lower lip toward cheek.
response: head turns toward stimulus; mouth opens and neck extends; mouth opens and neck flexes

15
Q

describe Traction Reflex

A

position: supine
test: grasp child’s wrist and pull toward sitting position
response: flexion of shoulders, elbows, wrist, fingers

16
Q

describe Labyrinthine Righting Reaction

A

position: supported in vertical in space
test: occlude child’s vision; tilt child anterior, posterior, lateral about 45 degrees
response: head orients immediately to vertical and is steady

17
Q

describe Body on Head Righting Reaction (BOH)

A

position: prone
test: occlude child’s vision; observe
response: head orients to vertical and is steady

18
Q

describe Neck on Body Righting Reaction (NOB)

A

position: supine
test: flex child’s head and rotate slowly to one side and hold
response: child will turn in direction of head turning, in order of shoulders, trunk, pelvis to side or prone

19
Q

describe Body on Body Righting Reaction (BOB)

A

position: supine
test: flex one leg and rotate it across the pelvis to the opposite side
response: child will roll segmentally in order of trunk shoulders, head

20
Q

describe Protective Extension Reaction

A

position: sitting with legs in front
test: quickly push child forward (or sideways or backwards) about 45 degrees
response: child will quickly throw extended UEs in front (or of displaced side or behind trunk) to break fall

21
Q

describe Staggering Reaction

A

position: standing
test: push child in different directions to displace COG off BOS
response: child takes one or more steps in direction of displacement to correct posture

22
Q

describe Visual Placing Reaction

A

position: supported in vertical
test: move child forward towards a tabletop or floor
response: leg flexion, then extension to place foot on top of table or floor
* also Visual Placing Reaction for UEs

23
Q

describe Optical Righting Reaction

A

position: supported in vertical
test: tilt child anterior, posterior, lateral about 45 degrees
response: child orients head to vertical and is steady

24
Q

describe Equilibrium Reactions - Prone/Supine

A

position: prone/supine on moveable surface
test: move child lateral to perimeter of base of support
