The Palmar Grasp Reflex is essential to my skill, jump roping. This reflex appears at birth and is stimulated by touch to the palm of the hand. As a response the child does a flexion grasp that does not include the thumb. This contributes to my skill because it prepares for voluntary grasping. During the Fundamental Patterns Period a child becomes “skillful” at grasping. When jump roping one has to be able to the jump rope firmly while turning it over the head. This reflex contributed to my skill development as an enhancer by promoting the strength a child has in their grip. The Palmar Grasp Reflex disappears at approximately 3 months of age. If this reflex is still present after 3 months then it would become a limiter by delaying the advancement

For both person one and two the tactile stimulus was their quickest reaction being 0.045 and 0.064 seconds. The slowest stimulus was the visual reaction and the times were 0.197 and 0.235 seconds.…
