touch lips, tongue results in automatic sucking

19
Q

Sucking present

A

0-6 months

20
Q

Startle reflex

A

with a loud noise, sudden light or cold stems there will be a jerk of the whole body or extension and ABD of UEs followed by ADD of shoulders

21
Q

Startle reflex present

A

0-6 months

22
Q

Tonic labyrinthine reflex

A

prone position results in maximal flexion tone and supine position results in max extensor tone

23
Q

Tonic labyrinthine reflex prevents

A

rolling from supineprone

24
Q

Tonic labyrinthine reflex present

A

0-6 months

25
Q

Asymmetrical tonic neck reflex

A

rotation of head results in flexion of face side extremities and extension of skull side extremities. Stronger in LEs.

26
Q

IF ATNR reflex persists

A

may result in scoliosis or hip dislocation and interfere with grasping and hand mouth activities

27
Q

ATNR present

A

0-5 months

28
Q

Palmar grasp reflex

A

pressure against the palm results in a grasp and slow release

29
Q

Palmar grasp present

A

0-4 months

30
Q

Plantar grasp reflex

A

pressure on the foot results in curling of the toes

31
Q

Plantar grap reflex present

A

0-9 months, before walking is able to occur

32
Q

Placing reactions

A

drag dorsum of foot or back of hand against the edge of table and the child will place their foot/hand on the table

33
Q

Placing reaction present

A

0-6 months

34
Q

Traction or pull to sit reflex

A

pull infant to sitting from supine, the UEs will flex and head will lag

35
Q

Traction/pull to sit reflex goes away

A

4-5 months

36
Q

Optical and labyrinthine righting

A

head orients to a vertical position when body is tilted. Test labyrinthine righting with the eyes blindfolded

37
Q

Optical/labyrinthine righting present

A

1 month - throughout life

38
Q

protective extension reflex

A

quick displacement of trunk in downward direction while held or while sitting in forward, sideward, or backward direction results in extension of legs downward and extension of arms in sitting position to catch weight.

39
Q

Protective extension begins (for downward, side sit, forward sit, backward sit)

A

downward: 4 months, side: 6 months, forward sitting: 7 months, backward: 9 months

40
Q

Body righting reaction acting on the head (BOH)

A

contact of body with solid surface results in head righting with respect to gravity, interacts with labyrinthine righting reaction on head to maintain orientation of head in space

41
Q

BOH beings

A

4-6 months
