|
|
Flexor withdrawal |
Sharp, quick pressure stimulus to the sole or palm of hand. Response- withdrawal of stimulated extremity 0-2 months |
|
|
Crossed extension |

|
Galant/Trunk incurvation reaction |
Sharp stroke along paravertebral line from scapula to top of iliac crest Response- Lateral trunk flexion to stimulated side 0-2 months |
|
|
Moro reflex |
Sudden extension of neck leads to flex. and abd. of shoulder and ext. of elbows, then crying 0-4 months |
|
|
Primary standing reaction |
Infant held in supported standing supports some weight and extends lower extremities. |
|
|
Primary walking |
Hold infant in supported standing , tilt trunk forward slightly. Response- reciprocal stepping motions in lower extremities. 0-2 months unless practiced. |
|
|
Neonatal neck righting (on body) |
Turn head when infant is in supine. Response- body logrolls toward same side. 0-6 months |
|
|
Rooting reflex |
Stroking of perioral region Response- results in head turning to that side with mouth opening 0-3 months |

Touch to lips, palate, tongue Response- automatic sucking 0-6 months |
|
|
Startle reflex |
loud noice, sudden light or cold stimulus Response- sudden jerking of the whole body or ext. and abd. of upper extremities followed by adduction of shoulders. 0-6 months. |
|
|
Tonic labyrinthine reflex |
Prone position results in maximal flexor tone and supine position results in maximum extensor tone. 0-6 months Persistence- may block rolling from supine due to increased extensor tone. |
|
|
Asymmetric tonic neck reflex |
Rotation of head- ext. of face side extremities & flex. of skull side extremities. 0-5 months Persistence- scoliosis, hip dislocation, interference with grasping & hand to mouth activities |
|
|
Palmar grasp |
Pressure stimulus against palm response-grasping of object with slow release 0-4 months |
|
|
Plantar grasp |
Pressure stimulus to sole or lowering of feet to floor response- curling of toes Must be integrated before walking occurs. 0-9 months |
|
|

Drag dorsum of foot or back of hand against edge of table Response- placing of hand or foot onto table top 0-6 months |
|
|
Traction/pull-to-sit |
Pull infant to sit from supine response-upper extremities will flex and there'll be head lag until 4-5 months |
|
|
Optical and labyrinthine righting |
Head orients to vertical position when the body is tilted labyrinthine tested with blindfolds 1 month-throughout life |
|
|
Protective extension |
Quick displacement of trunk in downward direction, while held, or while sitting in a forward, sideward or backward direction Response- extension of legs in downward direction, extension of arms in sitting position to catch weight. downward-4 mon, sideward sitting- 6 months, forward sitting- 7 months, backward sitting- 9mon..persist throughout life |
|
|
Body righting reaction (acting on head) |
Contact of body with a solid surface results in head righting with respect to gravity, interacts with labyrinthine righting reaction on head to maintain orientation of head in space. Begins at 4-6 months and persists. |
|
|
Body righting reaction (acting on body) |
Rotation of head or thorax results in rolling over with rotation between trunk and pelvis. begins at 6-8 months and persists |
|
|
Symmetric tonic neck reflex |
Ext of cervical joints produces ext. of upper extremities & flex. of lower extremities. Flex. of cervical joints produces flex. of upper extremities and ext. of lower extremities 6-8 months Persistence interferes with dev. of stable quadruped position and creeping. |
|
