APGAR stands for
appearance
pulse
grimace
activity
respiration
What score is a normal response for each?
2
When are scores calculated?
1 min and 5 minutes after birth
Good condition newborn score?
7-10
Low score and indicator for newborn requiring medical attention?
3 or below
<5 score shows
neuromotor dysfunction
What color should the baby be?
What should their HR be?
What should be their reflex?
Activity?
Respiration?
pink
100+
pulls away, sneezes, coughs
active movement
vigorous cry
Cephalic to caudal development
head and UE control prior to trunk and LE
Proximal to distal development
trunk control acquired first with subsequent gain in distal control
ATNR
turning head results in bow and arrow look with extended arm on face side.
Should integrate 6 months.
if it persists, problems with: visual tracking, rolling, development of crawling, can lead to skeletal deformities
STNR
flexing the head results in arms flexed and legs extended.
extending the head results in arms extended and legs flexed.
Should be present 6-12 months.
If it persists, problems with: ability to prop on arms in prone, attain and maintain hands and knees, crawling, sitting balance when looking around, use of hands when looking at an object in hands in sitting.
Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex
Supine the body and extremities held in extension.
Prone the body and extremities held in flexion.
Should be present birth-6 months.
If persists, problems with: ability to initiate rolling, ability to prop on elbows with extended hips in prone, ability to flex trunk and hips to come to sitting from supine, causes full body extension which interferes with sitting or standing.
Galant Reflex
touch skin along spine from shoulder to hip which causes a lateral shift towards stimulus.
Should be present until 2 months.
If persists it could interfere with: sitting balance, can lead to scoliosis
Palmar grasp reflex
should be present until 4 months.
If persists can cause problems with: ability to grasp and release objects voluntarily, WB on open hand
Plantar grasp reflex
should be present until 9 months.
If persists can cause problems with: ability to stand with feet flat on surface.
Balance reactions and weight shifting in standing.
Rooting reflex
when there is a touch on cheek they will turn their head to the same side with mouth open.
Should be present until 5 months.
If persists can interfere with: oral-motor development, development of midline control of head, optical righting, visual tracking, and social interaction.
Moro reflex
the falling reflex in response to head extension.
Integrates at 5 months
If persists can interfere with: balance reactions in sitting, protective responses in sitting, hand-eye coordination.
Startle reflex
similar to moro but to a loud sudden noise and elbows remain flexed and hands closed.
If persists can interfere with: same as moro
Positive support reflex
when weight is placed on balls of feet in upright position then they stiffen legs and trunk into extension. Should be present until 2 months.
If persists, then can interfere with: standing and walking, balance reactions, and weight shifting in standing, can lead to contractures of ankles in PF
Stepping reflex
should be present until 2 months
If persists can interfere with: standing and walking, balance reactions and weight shifting in standing, development of smooth and coordinated reciprocal movements.
Age range of sitting without support
4-9 months
Age range of standing with assistance
5-12 months
Age range of hands/knees crawling
5-14 months
Age range of walk with assistance
6-14 months
Age range of standing alone
7-17 months
