1
Q
UE flexion synergy
A
Scapular retraction
Shoulder:abduction, external rotation
Elbow/forearm: flexion/supination
Wrist/Finger: flexion
2
Q

A
Scapular protraction
Shoulder: adduction, internal rotation
Elbow/forearm: extension/pronation
Wrist/finger: flexion
3

4
Q
LE extension synergy:
A
Hip: extension, adduction, IR
Knee: extension
Ankle: PF, Inversion
Toes: flexion
5
Q
TLR:
A
Tonic Labyrinthine reflex:
Prone causes increased flexor tone
Supine causes increased extensor tone
