Q

Palmar Reflex
Onset:
Integration:

A

Onset: Birth
Integration: 5-6 months

17
Q

What happens if Moro reflex not integrated: Functional Implications

A

Motion sickness, poor balance/coordination, delayed equilibrium & righting responses, auditory hypersensitivity, poor auditory discrimination, difficulty with transitions, hypersensitivity may be seen in only one sense

18
Q

What happens if Moro reflex not integrated: Global Manifestations

A

Dislike change or surprise, Allergies, lowered immunity, ear infection, parents walk on eggshells to keep the world right for their kids, need to control, poor stamina, low self-esteem, difficulty making decisions, “glued” to mom or teacher, sedentary.

19
Q

What happens if ATNR reflex not integrated

A
  • Delayed eye-hand skills
  • Poor midline development
  • Difficulty crossing midline with hands and eyes
  • Difficulty with auditory processing
  • Poor organization
  • When reaching, one arm extends, other retracts
  • One leg left behind during crawling
  • Turning body while drawing/writing
  • Not spontaneously using non-dominant hand to assist
20
Q

What happens if Spinal Gallant not integrated: Underdeveloped

A
  • Contributes to hyper-tonicity
  • Strong ATNR and STNR
  • Impeded cross patterns for crawling and creeping
21
Q

What happens if Spinal Gallant not integrated

A
  • Fidgeting
  • Bed Wetting
  • Poor concentration and short term memory
  • Hip rotation to one side when walking
  • Child may only wear sweatpants (worn low) to avoid stimulation of lumbar region.
22
Q

What reflex tends to cause a child to walk on toes when it is not integrated?

A

TLR

23
Q

What happens if flexor TLR not integrated?

A
  • Slouched posture
  • Low muscle tone
  • Dislike of physical activity
  • Stuck in flexion
24
Q

What happens if extensor TLR not integrated?

A
  • Toe walking
  • High muscle tone
  • Dislike of physical activity
  • Stuck in extension
  • Poor organizational skills
  • Motion sickness
25
Q

Does TLR flexion or TLR extension cause motion sickness when reflex is not integrated?

A

TLR Extension

26
Q

If Moro reflex is not integrated, __________ probably wont be either

A

TLR

27
Q

What reflex helps to inhibit the TLR reflex?

A

Landau

28
Q

What two reflexes help the baby through the birthing process?

A

ATNR & Spinal Gallant

29
Q

What happens if Landau reflex is not integrated?

A
  • Poor muscle tone causing chronic back and neck pain
  • Tension and hyperextension of the legs accompanied by stiffness of the lower body
  • Affects development of balance
  • Ability to flex leg muscles correctly
  • Vertical eye tracking
  • A limitation of the field of vision
  • Poor at sports
  • Stiff awkward movements in lower half of body
  • Difficulty in hopping, jumping
30
Q

The “W” sitting position is a sign that what reflex is not integrated?

A

STNR

31
Q

With what motion is the STNR integrated?

A

Integrated when child begins to crawl and when rocking backing forth on hands and knees

32
Q

What happens if STNR not integrated?

A
  • W” sitting (this position inhibits STNR)
  • Poor posture
  • Hands in pocket
  • Bunny hop instead of crawl
  • Difficulty sitting still
  • Falls out of chair
  • Clumsy
  • Poor balance
  • Not into sports because can’t rely on body
  • Behavior problems
  • Poor eye hand coordination
  • Difficulty copying
  • Difficulty sitting for fine motor activities
33
Q

What is the purpose of the moro reflex?

A

purpose is to aide in the development of fight or flight response. Should be replaced by the adult “startle” response within 4 months of age

34
Q

What is the purpose of the ATNR?

A

Precursor for hand/eye coordination

35
Q

What is the purpose of the Spinal Gallant?

A

Helps with the birthing process

36
Q

What is the purpose of the TLR?

A

Basis for head management

37
Q

What is the purpose of the Landau

A

Posture development

38
Q

What is the purpose of the STNR?

A

“crawling reflex”
