Reflexes in newborns :Normal Reflex seen in healthy newborns. • Palmar grasp reflex : seen in neonates • #learnhow to examine the baby • Procedure : • To elicit the reflex, the infant is laid in a symmetrical supine position while he or she is awake. • The examiner strokes the palm of the infant with his or her index finger. • • The response to this stimulus comprises two phases: finger closure and clinging. • The infant's fingers undergo flexion to enclose the examiner's finger (finger closure). The pressure applied to the palm produces traction on the fingers' tendons, leading to the clinging action. • Reflex Pathway : • The higher brain centers regulate the palmar grasp, though it is a spinal reflex. • Appearance Disappearance : • It appears around 16 weeks of gestation and can be elicited in preterm infants as young as 25 weeks of postconceptional age. • • Significance: • Persistence of the reflex beyond six months is usually present in spastic #cerebral palsy. • #abnormal : • It can also reappear in adulthood, indicating a cortical lesion affecting the medial or lateral frontal cortex (e.g., ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke). • #medschool • #medicalstudents • #medschoollife • #paediatricposting • #clinical-skills • • • 🎵 Song: 'Sappheiros - Embrace' is under a creative commons license license. • https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxLK... • 🎶 Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: • • 🍀 Chill Instrumental [Non Copyrighted...
