Pediatric Reflexes -
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Primitive Reflex/Spinal Reflex | Flexor withdrawal, crossed extension, traction, moro, startle, grasp |
Tonic/Brainstem Reflexes | ATNR, STNR, symmetrical tonic labyrinthine, positive supporting, associated rxns |
Midbrain/Cortical Reflexes | NOB, BOB, LR, OR, BOH, protective extension, equilibrium rxns (tilting), equilibrium rxns (postural fixation) |
Flexor Withdrawal | Noxious Stimulus to sole of foot. Tested in supine or sitting. |
Flexor Withdrawal | Toes extend, foot dorsiflexes, leg flexes uncontrollably. |
Flexor Withdrawal | Onset: 28 wks gestation Integrated: 1-2 mths |
Crossed extension | Noxious stimulus to ball of foot of extremity in extension; tested in supine. |
Crossed extension | Opposite lower extremity flexes, then adducts and extends. |
Crossed extension | Onset: 28 wks gestation Integrated: 1-2 mths |
Traction | Grasp forearm and pull up from supine to sitting. |
Traction | Grasp and total flexion of the upper extremity |
Traction | Onset: 28 wks gestation Integrated: 2-5 months |
Moro | Drop pt. backward from sitting position |
Moro | Extension, abduction of UE, hand opening, and crying followed by flexion, adduction of arms across chest |
Moro | Onset: 28 wks Integration: 5-6 months |
Startle | Sudden loud or harsh noise |
Startle | Sudden ext or abd of arms, crying |
Startle | Onset: birth Integrated: persists |
Grasp | Pressure to palm of hand or ball of foot |
Grasp | Maintained flexion of fingers or toes |
Grasp | Onset: birth (palmar); 28 wks gestation (plantar) Integration: palmer (4-6 mths); plantar (9 mths) |
ATNR | Rotation of the head to one side |
ATNR | fencing posture |
ATNR | Onset: birth Integration: 4-6 mths |
STNR | Flexion or ext of head |
STNR | With head flexion, flexion of arms, extension of legs. Opposite for extension. |
STNR | Onset: 4-6 mths Integration: 8-12 mths |
STLR | Prone or supine |
STLR | Prone: increased flexion of all limbs. Supine: opposite. |
STLR | Onset: birth Integration: 6 mths |
Positive supporting | Contact to ball of foot in standing |
Positive supporting | Rigid extension of LE |
PS | Onset: birth Integrated: 6 mths |
Associated Rxns | Resisted voluntary mvmt in any part of the body |
Associated Rxns | Involuntary mvmt in a resting extremity |
Associated Rxns | Onset: birth to 3 mths Integrated: 8-9 yrs |
NOB | Pasively turn head to one side; supine |
NOB | Body rotates as a whole to align body w/ head Onset: 4-6 mths Integrated: 5 yrs |
BOB | Passively rotate upper or lower trunk segment; supine |
BOB | Body segment not rotated follows to align the body segmetns Onset: 4-6 mths Integrated: 5 yrs |
LR | Occlude vision; tip body in all directions |
LR | Head orients to vertical postion Onset: birth to 2 months Integrated: persists |
OR | Alter body position by tipping body in all directions |
OR | Head orients to vertical Onset: birth - 2 mths Integrated: persists |
BOH | Place in prone or supine |
BOH | Head orients to vertical positon. Onset: birth - 2mths Integrated: 5 yrs |
Protective Ext | Displace center of gravity outside BOS |
Protective Ext | Arms or legs extend and abduct to support and to protect the body against falling Onset: arms 4-6 mths; legs 6-9 mths Integration: persists |
ER (tilting) | Displace center of gravity by tilting or moving the support surface |
ER (tilting) | Curvature of trunk toward upward side along w/ ext and abd of the extremtiies on that side; protective ext on opposite side Onset: prone 6 mths; supine 7-8 mths; sitting 7-8 mths; quadruped 9-12 mths; standing 12-21 mths; integrated: persists |
ER (postural fixation) | Apply displacing force to body, altering center of gravity in its relation to BOS; can be observed druing voluntary activity |
ER (postural fixation) | Curvature of trunk toward force w/ ext and abd of extremities on that side Onset: prone 6 mths; supine and sitting 7-8 mths; quadruped 9-12 mths; standing 12-21 mths Integrated: persists |
