Perfectly

Functional Significance: Plantar grasp

Increase input to sole of foot: Integration is associated with readiness for independent gait

Functional Significance: Galant

Enhances trunk stabilization by facilitation of lateral trunk movement

Functional Significance: Asymmetric Tonic Neck

Promote visual attention to UE’s.

Decrease incidence of rolling

Functional Significance: Palmar Grasp

Increase palmar tactile input

Prepare muscles for voluntary grasp

Functional Significance: Tonic Labyrinthine Supine

Facilitates full body extensor tone

Allows posture to adapt to that of the head

Functional Significance: Tonic Labyrinthine Prone

Facilitation full body flexion tone

Allows posture to adapt to that of the head

Functional Significance: Landau

Regulates tone | Promotes prone extension to manage flexor tone

Functional Significance: Symmetric Tonic Neck

Facilitated quadruped position in preparation for crawling | Breaks up total body extension

Functional Significance: NOB

Facilitates rolling | Maintains body orientation in response to cervical position changes

Functional Significance: BOB

Promotes trunk and spinal rotation to facilitate sitting and quadruped positions.

Functional Significance: Labyrinthine/optical (Head) righting

Basis for head management and postural stability | Orients head in space vertically

Functional Significance: Downward parachute | Protective Extension Downward

Prepare lower extremities for surface contact to break a fall

Functional Significance: Forward Parachute | Protective Extension Forward

Places upper extremities in anticipation of surface contract to break a fall

Functional Significance: Sideward Parachute | Protective Extension Sideward

Unilaterally supports body for use of opposite arm prevents falls

Functional Significance: Backward Parachute | Protective Extension Backward

Protects from backward falls

Functional Significance: Prone Tilting

Facilitates postural adjustment to maintain center of gravity

Functional Significance: Supine tilting and sitting tiliting

Facilitated postural adjustment to maintain center of gravity promotes sitting balance

Functional Significance: Quadruped tilting

Facilitated postural adjustment to maintain center of gravity and preserve positioning in quadruped

Functional Significance: Standing tilting

Facilitated postural adjustment to maintain center of gravity and balance during standing and walking.

Labyrinthine/optical (Head) righting

Infant suspended vertically and tilt slowly about 45 degrees to the side, forwards and backwards Upright position of the head Onset Age: Birth 2 months

Downward parachute | Protective Extension Downward

Rapidly lower infant towards supporting surface while suspended vertically Extension of the LE's Onset Age: 4 months

Forward Parachute | Protective Extension Forward

Suddenly tip infant forward while in vertical position Placing UE's in anticipated of surface to break a fall Onset Age: 6-9 months

Sideward Parachute | Protective Extension Sideward

In sitting position quickly tip infant off balance to the side Arm extension and abduction Onset Age: 7 months

Backward Parachute | Protective Extension Backward

Tip infant off balance backwards backward arm extension or extension of one arm to the side spinal rotation Onset Age: 9-10 months

Prone Tilting

Infant in prone, slowly raise one side of the supporting surface Curving of the spine towards the raised side: abd/extesnion of arms and legs Onset Age: 5 months

Supine tilting and sitting tiliting

Infant in supine or sitting slowly raised one side of surface Curving of the spine towards the raised side Onset Age: 7-8 months

Quadruped tilting

Infant in all fours slowly raise one side of the supporting surface Curving of the spine towards the raised side Onset Age: 9-12 months

Standing tilting

Infant in standing, slowly raise one side of the supporting surface Curving of the spine towards the raised side Onset Age: 12-21 months.
