4
Q
What are primitive reflexes?
A
early stereotypic patterns of mvmnt (apply specific sensory stimulus and get a predictable motor response)
5
Q
primitive reflexes reflect:
A
CNS maturity/fxn
6
Q
persistent primitive reflexes may be red or yellow flags for:
A
CNS pathology if persistent…e.g. cerebral palsy
7
Q
What does a + (abnormal) TLR look like?
A
increased flexor tone and flexion in prone with head/limb extension difficult; opposite (extensor tone) in supine when limbs passive flexed
ok to be + up to 6 mos
