Unlabelled: A non-controlled, prognostic cohort study was performed with the aim of establishing markers of neurological development and defining a clinical and epidemiological profile of preterm newborns at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of gestation-corrected age in terms of primitive reflexes evolution.
Results: At 3 months old of corrected age, all primitive reflexes were present. At 6 months old, all children showed plantar grasp and 2.7% still showed Moro and palmar grasp. Plantar grasp was the unique primitive reflex found at 9 and 12 months of corrected age.
Conclusion: It was possible to evaluate the occurence, as well as the disappearing of primitive reflexes in preterm newborns. The results show delay in the disappearing of primitive reflexes even with the use of corrected age.
Objective: Aim: This paper discusses the development of postural-motor, coordination, and reflex functions in children during their first year of life. It proceeds in an orderly manner in stages in which the child actively acquires new psychomotor skills (developmental milestones). These milestones are permanent and have a lifelong impact on health and fitness.
Primitive reflexes (PRs) are involuntary motor responses present at birth, typically replaced by voluntary motor control during development. If PRs remain active beyond infancy, they can impair motor and cognitive abilities. This study investigated the correlation between active PRs and Tactical (TaS) and Technical Skills (TeS) in professional football matches.
Purpose: This comprehensive review thoroughly explores the clinical significance of the palmomental reflex (PMR) in neurological disorders. PMR is a primitive reflex that, when reemerging in adults, indicates underlying neurological dysfunction.
Method: The article elaborates on the clinical assessment techniques, neurophysiological basis, and applications of PMR in various neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrovascular disorders, traumatic brain injury, and multiple sclerosis.
Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia is caused by a lack of oxygen to organ systems due to hypoxic or ischemic insult that occurs during labour and delivery. This may lead to multi-organ failure with brain involvement as the major organ of concern.
Case Report: We present a 19-day-old neonate referred to our centre with the complaint of inability to suck since birth and multiple seizures that started on the second day of life.
