“…In a patient with an equivocal (in fact mildly abnormal) reflex, a smooth, slow stimulus a little more medially on the sole than usual tends to produce a flexor response while a brisker more lateral stimulus tends to produce an extensor response. 3 There are many methods for stimulating the extensor response of the toe, mostly named eponymously 100-150 years ago. 4 5 Most add little to the routine examination but do demonstrate the wide sensory range of the reflex.…”

The following tips are designed to help trainees or inexperienced neurologists to reach the right answer in a time-efficient manner. The tools required are easily carried. The list is personal and idiosyncratic; other experienced neurologists may feel they can improve on it. Some tips are very simple and most trainees will know them already, but experience shows that not all do. Expert clinicians use the examination to test hypotheses and solve problems: for this to work you need to 'think on your feet' and adapt the examination to the circumstances. This includes confirming abnormalities in detail when a screening test is positive. Likewise, any unexpected abnormality on examination must be confirmed, with its relevance being determined in the context of the history and the overall clinical presentation.

“…The Babinski sign (i.e., plantar response) and grasp reflex are two reflexes that are clinically accepted as indicators of central nervous system disease or disorder. Some of the arguments may be accounted for by differences in opinion and interpretation of the reflexes, which can vary significantly from clinician to clinician ( 4 , 26 , 81 – 83 ).…”

Retained Primitive Reflexes and Potential for Intervention in Autistic Spectrum Disorders

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We provide evidence to support the contention that many aspects of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are related to interregional brain functional disconnectivity associated with maturational delays in the development of brain networks. We think a delay in brain maturation in some networks may result in an increase in cortical maturation and development in other networks, leading to a developmental asynchrony and an unevenness of functional skills and symptoms. The paper supports the close relationship between retained primitive reflexes and cognitive and motor function in general and in ASD in particular provided to indicate that the inhibition of RPRs can effect positive change in ASD.
