The presence of the Babinski sign can identify disease of the spinal cord and brain in adults, and also exists as a primitive reflex in infants. [1] While first described in the medical literature by Babinski in 1896, [2] the reflex has been identified in art at least as early as Botticelli's Virgin and Child with an Angel, painted in the mid ...
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%).
Knee jerk or patellar reflex — a kick caused by striking the patellar tendon with a tendon hammer just below the patella, stimulating the L4 and L3 reflex arcs. Moro reflex, a primitive reflex— only in all infants up to 4 or 5 months of age: a sudden symmetric spreading of the arms, then unspreading and crying, caused by an unexpected loud ...
Joseph Jules François Félix Babinski (Polish: Józef Julian Franciszek Feliks Babiński; 17 November 1857 – 29 October 1932) was a French-Polish professor of neurology. He is best known for his 1896 description of the Babinski sign, a pathological plantar reflex indicative of corticospinal tract damage.
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.
Gordon's sign is a clinical sign in which squeezing the calf muscle elicits an extensor plantar reflex. It is found in patients with pyramidal tract lesions, and is one of a number of Babinski-like responses. [1] The sign is named after Alfred Gordon. [2]
Stransky's sign is a clinical sign in which vigorous abduction followed by the sudden release of the little toe causes an extensor plantar reflex. It is found in patients with pyramidal tract lesions, and is one of a number of Babinski-like responses. [1] The sign is named after the Viennese neurologist Erwin Stransky (1877–1962). [citation ...
It is found in patients with pyramidal tract lesions, and is one of a number of Babinski-like responses. [1] The sign is named after Grigory Ivanovich Rossolimo. [2]
