The document discusses primitive motor reflexes and their impact on a child's development, particularly focusing on the asymmetrical tonic neck reflex (ATNR), symmetrical tonic neck reflex (STNR), and tonic labyrinthine reflex (TLR). It outlines the onset, importance, and potential consequences of retained reflexes in early childhood, including impairments in movement, balance, posture, and academic skills. The document emphasizes the significance of integrating these reflexes for optimal motor function and provides examples of intervention positions to aid development.

What are the four types of reflexes?

There are different types of reflexes, including a stretch reflex, Golgi tendon reflex, crossed extensor reflex, and a withdrawal reflex. A stretch reflex is a rapid monosynaptic response of muscle to maintain posture and equilibrium. A Golgi tendon reflex triggers a muscle to relax in order to avoid injury.

What are the 4 somatic reflexes?

In our discussion we will examine four major reflexes that are integrated within the spinal cord: the stretch reflex, the Golgi tendon reflex, the withdrawal reflex and the crossed extensor reflex.

What are the 10 examples of reflex action?

A few examples of reflex action are: When light acts as a stimulus, the pupil of the eye changes in size. Sudden jerky withdrawal of hand or leg when pricked by a pin. Coughing or sneezing, because of irritants in the nasal passages. Knees in response to a blow or someone stamping the leg.

What are the 5 components of the reflex action?

There are five components of a reflex arc which, together, form a reflex loop: Sensory receptor. Sensory neuron. Integration center. Motor neuron. Effector target.

How do you assess motor reflexes?

Use a reflex hammer in a quick striking motion by the wrist on various tendons to produce an involuntary response. Before classifying a reflex as absent or weak, the test should be repeated after the patient is encouraged to relax because voluntary tensing of the muscles can prevent an involuntary reflexive action.

What are the C5, C6, and C7 reflexes?

Reflexes commonly tested (with their corresponding nerve roots) include: biceps reflex (C5,C6), triceps reflex (C6,C7), brachioradialis reflex (C5,C6), knee reflex (L2,L3,L4), ankle reflex (S1) and plantar response (L5,S1).

What are the 5 tendon reflexes?

There are five primary deep tendon reflexes: biceps, brachioradialis, triceps, patellar, and ankle.

What are the 5 deep tendon reflexes?

There are five primary deep tendon reflexes: biceps, brachioradialis, triceps, patellar, and ankle. In some instances, a plus sign (+) is written after the number.
