hip exam.
what are the two tests to Screen for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Barlow test
and
ortolani test
The maneuver is easily performed by adducting the hip (bringing the thigh towards the midline) while applying light pressure on the knee, directing the force posteriorly.[2] If the hip is dislocatable - that is, if the hip can be popped out of socket with this maneuver - the test is considered positive. The Ortolani maneuver is then used, to confirm the positive finding (i.e., that the hip actually dislocated).
barlow test
It relocates the dislocation of the hip joint that has just been elicited by the Barlow maneuver.[citation needed]
It is performed by an examiner first flexing the hips and knees of a supine infant to 90 degrees, then with the examiner’s index fingers placing anterior pressure on the greater trochanters, gently and smoothly abductingthe infant’s legs using the examiner’s thumbs. A positive sign is a distinctive ‘clunk’ which can be heard and felt as the femoral head relocates anteriorly into the acetabulum:[2]
Specifically, this tests for posterior dislocation of the hip.[citation needed]
ortolani test
GALEAZZI
lay prone..hips flexed.. make sure knees are at symmetric level!
WHAT REFLEX IS THIS?
moro reflex:
The Moro reflex is an infantile reflex normally present in all infants/newborns up to 4 or 5 months of age as a response to a sudden loss of support, when the infant feels as if it is falling. It involves three distinct components:
spreading out the arms (abduction)
unspreading the arms (adduction)
crying (usually)
The primary significance of the Moro reflex is in evaluating integration of the central nervous system.
what reflex is this?
rooting reflex:
A reflex that is seen in normal newborn babies, who automatically turn the face toward the stimulus and make sucking (rooting) motions with the mouth when the cheek or lip is touched. The rooting reflexhelps to ensure successful breastfeeding.
what reflex is this?
Galant reflex:
It is elicited by holding the newborn in ventral suspension (face down) and stroking along the one side of the spine. The normal reaction is for the newborn tolaterally flex toward the stimulated side.
This is one of the reflexes tested in newborns to help rule out brain damage at birth.
What reflex is this?
Grasp reflex
Palmar grasp reflex (sometimes simply called grasp reflex) is a primitive reflex. It appears as early as 16 weeks in utero and persists until five or six months of age. When an object is placed in the infant’s hand and strokes their palm, the fingers will close and they will grasp it with a palmar grasp. The grip is strong but unpredictable; though it may be able to support the child’s weight, they may also release their grip suddenly and without warning. The reverse motion can be induced by stroking the back or side of the hand.
