OTHY200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Moro Reflex, Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, Anatomical Terms Of Motion
Document Summary
Birth to 2 months onset, 4 11 months, put pressure into palm and finger will flex around, Important as volitional reach and grasp cannot be utilised until its intergrated. Prenatal onset, 9 months and when standing, firm pressure below toes and result in plantar flexion of toes, immature attempt to maintain stability. Prenatal onset, 3 months, stroke cheek/ corner of mouth and will turn towards stimulus, if stroke lower lip mouth opens. Prenatal onset, 2-5 months, downward pressure of tongue will lead to rhythimical sucking movement. Supine: prenatal onset, 6 months, in pull-to-sit, extensor tone dominates -> head lag. Prone response: flexor tone dominates, child will not lift head (can turn to side) Significance: persistence will interfere with the ability to roll and develop antigravity behaviours. Birth 2 months onset, persists, position of head or body in space, tilt body in all directions, head orients to vertical positions and is steady.
