What is the purpose of the Moro reflex?
Primitive fight or flight reaction
What is the purpose of the Rooting reflex?
Automatic response to turn towards food
What is the purpose of the Palmer Reflex?
Automatic flexing of fingers to grab
What is the purpose of the ATNR?
To assist baby through birth canal and develop cross pattern movements
What is the purpose of the Spinal Gallant Reflex?
assist baby with birth process
What is the purpose of the TLR?
Basis for head management and postural stability using major muscle groups
What is the purpose of the Landau Reflex?
Assist with posture development
What is the purpose of the STNR?
Preparation for crawling
Hyper sensitivity, hyper reactivity, poor impulse control, sensory overload, social and emotional immaturity are all signs of retention for which primitive reflex?
Moro reflex
Fussing eating, thumb sucking, dribbling, speech and articulation problems are all signs of retention for which primitive reflex?
Rooting reflex
Difficulty with fine motor skills, poor manual dexterity, messy handwriting are all signs of retention for which primitive reflex?
Palmer reflex
Poor eye-hand coordination, difficulty with handwriting, trouble crossing vertical midline, poor visual tracking for reading and writing are all signs of retention for which primitive reflex?
ATNR
Unilateral or bilateral postural issues, fidgeting, bedwetting, poor concentration, poor short term memory are all signs of retention for which primitive reflex?
Spinal Gallant Reflex
Poor muscle tone, tendency to walk on toes, poor balance, motion sickness, spatial orientation issue are all signs of retention for which primitive reflex?
TLR
Poor motor development are all signs of retention for which primitive reflex?
Landau reflex
Tendency to slump while sitting, poor muscle tone, poor eye-hand coordination, inability to sit still and concentrate are all signs of retention for which primitive reflex?
STNR
