Q

Protective Extension

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.

Q

Primary Standing Reaction

A
  • Infant held in supported standing position supports some weight and extends lower extremities.

A
  • 0-12 months
  • Stroke lateral aspect of the plantar surface of foot, get extension and fanning of toes
26
Q

Body-Righting Reaction Acting on the Body (BOB)

A
  • Begins at 6-8 months and persists.

40
Q

Tilting Reactions

A
  • Slow shifting of base of support or slow displacement of body in space will result in lateral flexion of spine toward elevated side of support, abduction of extremities on elevated side, and sometimes trunk rotation toward elevated side.
