Primitive reflexes
Suck- Swallow

Primitive reflexes
Palmar grasp
- appears at 28 weeks gestation
- integrates at 4-7 months
- Stimulus: pressure on palm of the hand
- Response: flexion of fingers
Primitive reflexes
plantar grasp
- appears at 28 weeks of gestation
- integrates at 9 months
- stimulus: supported standing on feet or pressure to sole of the foot just distal to metatarsal heads
- response: flexion of toes
Primitive reflexes
Galant (trunk incurvation)
- appears at 28 weeks of gestation
- integrates at 3 months, inconsistent
- stimulus: in prone, stroke paravertebral skin
- response: lateral of curvature
Primitive reflexes
Moro
- appears at 28 weeks of gestation
- integrates at 3-5 months
- stimulus: head drop backwards (loud noise for startle)
- response: abduction and extension of arms, splaying of fingers, may be followed by arm flexion and adduction
Primitive Reflexes
automatic walking/ stepping reflex
- appears at 37 weeks of gestation
- integrates at 3-4 months
- stimulus: hold upright with feet on support
- response: high stepping movements with regular rhythm
Primitive reflexes
Symmetrical tonic neck (STNR)
- appears at 4-6 months post full term delivery
- integrates at 8-12 months
- stimulus: flexion or extension of the head
- Response: with head flexion, arms flex and hip extend, with head extension arms extend and hips flex
Neonate and first month movement in supine
- wide movements of arms
- recoil with passive extension
- rhythmic kicking when active
neonate and first month movement prone
- head to side with weight on cheek: may briefly lift head
- elbows behind shoulders
neonate and first month pull to sit
-total head lag
neonate and first month supported stand
- automatic walking
neonate and first month atypical movements
- strong extension, minimal physiological flexion
- no flexor recoil
- marked hypotonia
- no lower extremity kicking
- does not accept weight in standing
- no recognition of changing head position with pull to sit
2nd month general
- period of greatest asymmetry due to strong ATNR
- more disorganized than 1 month old
- not a good time to evaluate motor progress
2nd month supine movement
- visually tracking
- increased shoulder mobility
- variety of LE kicking movements
2nd month prone movement
- briefly lift head to 45 degrees
- may begin to push up
- frog legs - hip flexion, ER, Abd, knee flexion, foot DF and eversion
2nd month pull to sit
- attempt to lift head
-
2nd month supported sit
- briefly lifts head, unable to maintain
2nd month atypical development
- poor visual tracking when head is supported
- limited ROM of UE
- strong extension of head, trunk, and hips in sitting
3rd month general
-emergence of symmetry and midline orientation
3rd month movement in supine
- vision: alert and aware of environment
- UE: increased ROM - 90 deg. hands and mouth and self exploration
- LE: kicking with symmetrical and reciprocal patterns
3rd month movement in prone
- lift head to 45-90 deg and maintains with control. may rortate to track 180 deg
- elbows in line with or in front of shoulders
- frog legs
3rd month pull to sit
- initial head lag
- no chin tuck
3rd month supported sit
- extends back
- rights head with hyper extension
3rd month standing
- supports weight on both feet
3rd month atypical development
- poor visual control: especially no tracking in supine
- no extension at hips or trunk in sitting
- no attempt to loft head with pull to sit
4 months general
- symmetry in posture and movements
- increased control over flexion and extension
- purposeful movements emerging
4 month movement in supine
- reaches hands to knees (flexion)
- head/neck control
- eyes to track
- hands together and hands to face
- LE mirror UE when reaching (arms flex, legs flex)
4 month rolling
- supine to sidelying
4 month movement in prone
- lifts head to 90 deg in midline
- bears weight on forearms
4 months pull to sit
- flexes head and tucks chin
4 months supported sitting
- stabilizes head in midline
4 month atypical development
- strong asymmetrical postures of head or trunk
- poor midline orientation
- no hand on body exploration
5 month general
- emergence of dissociated and reciprocal limb movements
5 month movement in supine
- hands to feet, feet to mouth
- use of vision
- tuck chin when engaged in flexion activities
- kicks with dissociated movements
5 month rolling supine to sidelying
- symmetrically flexed to initiate
