Q

tonic labyrinthine reflex

A

prone position = maximal flexor tone

supine position = maximal extensor tone

16
Q

asymmetric tonic neck reflex ATNR STNR

A

stimulus: rotation of head

response: extension of face side extremeties & flexion of skull side extremeties

17
Q

placing reactions stimulus/response/age of suppression

A

stimulusL dorsum drag of foot or back of hand against edge of table

response: placing foot or hand onto table top

age 0-6mo

18
Q

optical and labyrinthine righting stimulus/response/age of suppression

A

stimulation: body is tilted

reaction: head orients to vertical position- eyes orient

19
Q

equilibrium reactions

A

SAFETY reactions which preserve the body under conditions of instability

*occur as baby matures in progression

20
Q

protective reactions

A

when safety reaction fails

21
Q

downward protective reaction

A

take baby by hips and tip them down- hands should bring both hands above head to save themselves

22
Q

protective reaction forward

A

baby is learning how to sit and reaches forward between legs (5 mo)

23
Q

sideward protective reaction

A

baby sitting protects itself from side (7mo)

24
Q

protective extension backwards

A

catches itself from falling back onto elbows (9mo)

25
Q

protective stagger reaction

A

baby does little steps to try to catch themselves from falling

26
Q

dorsiflexion reaction protective reaction

A

?????

foot goes into dorsiflexion to stop from falling

27
Q

what is reflex integration

A

the inhibition by neurological centers of MC which modify the reflex in such a way that the pattern of response is no longer stereotypical

28
Q

when do protective reactionsoccur

forward
side
backwards
