Exteroceptive Skin Reflexes in Premature In/antsSummary. 82 exteroceptive skin reflexes and responses were examined in 30 premature infants ranging in conceptional age from 30~i0 weeks. By means of standardized tactile stimuli to prescribed skin areas, contraction of a single muscle or a muscle group could be elicited, resulting in extension and/or flexion at a specified joint. For these stereotyped responses it was the location of the stimulus which played a major role rather than the different distribution of muscle tonus or the segmental dermatomo-myotomal correspondence: in the trunk and limb girdles, the sensitive (reflexogenic) zones were localized directly over the respective muscle bellies; in the extremities they were more distally over the tendons and for the finger and/or toe movements, they were shifted toward the acral skin areas of the extremities. The motor response always occurred only at the site of stimulation. The majority of the 82 exteroceptive skin refexes were present in all the premature infants independently of the conceptional age. Several reflexes were inconsistent and there were some muscles which could not be activated by tactile stimulation.Schtiis.selw6rter: Friihgeborene --Hautreflexe --Reflexogene Hautareale --Konzeptionsalter.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
