Downward ( parachute) protective reaction occurs when
6 months
Sideways protective reaction occurs when?
7 months
Backward protective reaction occurs when?

Dorsiflexion reaction occurs when?
15-18 months
Block: Neck Hyperextension and Head/neck Asymmetry: Typical
Typically head and neck hyperextension is being balanced by proximal flexion in the 3rd and 4th month, with midline orientation emerging in all positions
- Active chin tuck serves to elongate the cervical paraspinals
Block: Neck Hyperextension and Head/neck Asymmetry: Atypical
- balanced proximal flexion
- midline orientation
- chin tuck
-prone on elbows - extensors/flexors balance
Block: Neck Hyperextension and Head/neck Asymmetry: Compensations
- shoulder elevation to stabilize
- exaggerate
-ATNR used functionally - Unilateral use of extremities/body
Block: Neck Hyperextension and Head/neck Asymmetry: Consequences
- slip through axilla
- exaggerated neck hyperextension
- Interferes with development of head control, righting reactions, visual
- Posture: scoliosis, hip subluxation, wind- swept deformity
Block: Neck Hyperextension and Head/neck Asymmetry: Interventions
- rotation into trunk to soften
- Core strengthening
- Head control
- Increase tolerance
- Increase extension; rotator muscles, work factors
Shoulder/Scapular Block: Atypical
- poor scapular-humeral rhythm
- poor disassociation
- shoulder elevation
- weight stays on chest
- Shoulder Glued to scapula
Shoulder/Scapular Block: Compensations
- High muscle tone
- prolonged primitive extension
- shoulder girdle instability
Shoulder/Scapular Block: Consequences
- limited functional use of upper extremities
- Hard to transition to quadruped to creeping
Shoulder/Scapular Block: Intervention
Unglue shoulder from scapula
- focus on reaching exercises and strengthening
Anterior Pelvic Tilt Block : Atypical
- decreased abdominal development/activation
- No posterior tilt or lumbar extensor elongation
- no antigravity hip flexion/adduction
- lateral weight shift blocked, normal righting reactions decreased
Anterior Pelvic Tilt Block : Compensations
- frog leg
- wide base of support in all positions
- tummy touching ground
Anterior Pelvic Tilt Block : Consequences
- lack of weight shift
- limited balance learning
Anterior Pelvic Tilt Block : Intervention
- Get out of sitting
- core activation, shoulder girdle, LE
Posterior Pelvic Tilt Block: Atypical
- Unbalanced extension
- Active flexion does not develop
- No dissociated flexion/extension
Posterior Pelvic Tilt Block : Consequences and compensations
Sitting
- tight hamstrings prevent full hip flexion/knee extension
- posterior pelvic tilt
- rounded lumbar spine–> rounded thoracic spine
- sacral sit
- increased knee flexion
- W-sitting
- Bunny Hopping
- difficulty with independent standing
- Narrow adducted base of support
Posterior Pelvic Tilt Block : Intervention
- sit upright
- strengthen
- joint rotation
- dissociation
What is the Scarf Sign?
Tone
- The tone of the shoulder girdle is assessed by taking the baby’s hand and pulling the hand to the opposite shoulder like a scarf
Atypical development 1-3 Months
- tight fisting
- cramped
- synchronous movements
- visual tracking not emerging
-Opisthotonus is a condition that causes a person’s body to arch backward into an abnormal position, with the head thrown back and the neck and spine hyperextended.
