Babinski reflex: The plantar aspect of the foot is gently stimulated in a line starting a few centimeters distal to the heel and extended to a point just behind the toes, and then turned medially across the transverse arch. This is done slowly over 5-6 seconds. Roche's sign: Similar to Babinski but done on the external part of the foot.

Steve Guttenberg hit the ground running to help people impacted by the fires in Pacific Palisades — and he was almost unrecognizable. The flames first began around 10:30 a.m. local time on ...
A 2011 cross-sectional study assessing primitive reflexes in 67 high-risk newborns, used a sample method to evaluate responses of the sucking, Babinski and Moro reflexes. The results of the study showed that the sucking reflex was performed normally most often (63.5%), followed by the Babinski reflex (58.7%), and the Moro reflex (42.9%).
