    Retained Neonatal Reflexes | The Chiropractic Office of Dr. Bob Apol 12/24/16, 1:56 PM Temper tantrums Hypersensitive to touch, sound, change in visual field Moro Reflex The Moro Reflex is present at 9-12 weeks after conception and is normally fully developed at birth. It is the baby’s “danger signal”. The baby is ill-equipped to determine whether a signal is threatening or not, and will undergo instantaneous arousal. This may be due to sudden unexpected occurrences such as change in head position, noise, sudden movement or change of light or even pain or temperature change. This activates the stress response system of “fight or flight”. If the Moro Reflex is present after 6 months of age, the following signs may be present: Reaction to foods Poor regulation of blood sugar Fatigues easily, if adrenalin stores have been depleted Anxiety Mood swings, tense muscles and tone, inability to accept criticism Hyperactivity Low self-esteem and insecurity Juvenile Suck Reflex This is active together with the “Rooting Reflex” which allows the baby to feed and suck. If this reflex is not sufficiently integrated, the baby will continue to thrust their tongue forward, pushing on the upper jaw and causing an overbite. This by nature affects the jaw and bite position. This may affect: Chewing Difficulties with solid foods Dribbling Rooting Reflex Light touch around the mouth and cheek causes the baby’s head to turn to the stimulation, the mouth to open and tongue extended in preparation for feeding. It is present from birth usually to 4 months.

  • The Important of Babies' Movement in the First Year of Life
    ISSN 2239-978X Journal of Educational and Social Research Vol. 4 No.3 ISSN 2240-0524 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy May 2014 The Important of Babies’ Movement in the First Year of Life Ph.D. Candidate. Sulltana Bilbilaj “Pedagogical Academy Of Tirana“, Tirana, Albania [email protected] Doi:10.5901/jesr.2014.v4n3p381 Abstract Mother is the closest person and the one who has the greatest affinity to her child, so she must have information on the movement in order to be successful during the growing-up and development phase of the child. On birth a baby does not possess control on their willing movements. The child responses the environment stimulus via the primitive reflexes, which are stereotype and automatic movements. When in the womb, the movements of in the primitive reflexes help the brain development. After birth reflexes are survived in order to see the baby’s neurological function. They also offer a great deal of opportunities on various aspects of the later functionality. Their presence or their absence is a crucial factor in different phases to set the foundation for the later development. These primitive reflexes must be stopped slowly during the first year of life and for this the movements are ferial must or condition. Every movement is a motored sensory happening linked with the understanding of our physical word, from where the new information generates. During the six-twelve first months of life the baby starts to grow up and mature, so does even the central nervous system. The primitive reflexes are starting to be replaced by more sophisticated regions of the brain.

  • Neonatal Reflexes
    Neonatal Reflexes By Courtney Plaster Neonatal Reflexes Neonatal reflexes are inborn reflexes which are present at birth and occur in a predictable fashion. A normally developing newborn should respond to certain stimuli with these reflexes, which eventually become inhibited as the child matures. What do Primitive Reflexes Have to do With Speech Pathology? • Most primitive reflexes begin to occur in utero through the early months of the child’s postnatal life. • These reflexes are then replaced by voluntary motor skills. • When the reflexes are not inhibited, there is usually a neurological problem at hand. • In those individuals with cerebral palsy and neurogenic dysphagia, the presence of primitive reflexes is a characteristic (Jacobson, p.44). Moro Reflex • Stimulated by a sudden Normal Moro Reflex movement or loud noise. • A normally developing wborn_n_23.m neonate will respond by throwing out the arms and legs Abnormal Moro Reflex and then pulling them towards the body (Children’s Health Encyclopedia). wborn_ab_23.m • Emerges 8-9 weeks in utero, and is inhibited by 16 weeks (Grupen). Palmar Grasp • Stimulated when an object is Normal Palmar Grasp placed into the baby’s palm. • A normally developing neonate responds by grasping the object. wborn_n_26.m • This reflex emerges 11 wks in utero, and is inhibited 2-3 months Abnormal Palmar Grasp after birth. • A persistent palmar grasp reflex may cause issues such as born_ab_26 swallowing problems and delayed speech (Grupen). Babinski (Plantar) Reflex • Stimulated by stroking the sole Normal Babinski of the foot: – toes of the foot should fan out – the foot itself should curl in. wborn_n_21.m • Emerges at 18 weeks in utero Abnormal Babinski and disappears by 6 months after birth (Grupen).

    Edited by Scott Cuthbert, D. C. 1 ICAK-USA Research The Following is a Compilation of Applied Kinesiology Research Papers Published in the Collected Papers of the International College of Applied Kinesiology for the year 2007-2008 -- Edited by Scott Cuthbert, D.C. 2 A SIMPLE ASSESSMENT FOR MUSCLE IMBALANCE Scott Monk, D.C. ABSTRACT Objective: To present the case of a female child with severe abdominal pain successfully treated using AK methods. Clinical Features: A nine-year-old female presented with constant and daily stomach pain, especially severe in the morning. The symptoms would worsen when she brushed her teeth. Endoscopic exam showed esophagitis, and she was given Prevacid for the acid reflux, and another medication to coat her stomach. Neither had been helpful for her pain. Intervention and Outcome: AK examination revealed minimal disturbances in the spine, pelvis and cranium. Using a homeopathic kit, the child‟s indicator muscles weakened upon insalivation of material from the bacterial vial. Two herbal supplements, Chinese wormwood and Oregon grape root, negated the weakness. After only minimal improvements, the father was asked to bring a sample of tap water from the child‟s bathroom sink. The child weakened with insalivation of the water sample, and this was negated by Oregon grape root. The child was instructed to drink only bottled water and not to use tap water from home. The next day her stomach related symptoms were gone. She remained symptom free at a 6-month follow up. Conclusion: This case demonstrated that the AK method of oral testing was helpful in detecting harmful items in a patient‟s diet.
