NEUROLOGIC DEVELOPMENT

2. : Side of the palm (thumb side) used for grasping objects after 6–8 months.
3. : Reflex triggered when an object touches the palm and the baby grasps it involuntarily.
8. : Normal increased muscle tone observed in newborns, with flexed limbs in supine position.
9. : The pattern of movement of the limbs during walking.
10. : A test position where the baby is held prone in the air to observe posture and head control.
13. : Reflex triggered when food touches the back of the tongue; it does not disappear.
14. : An automatic, involuntary response to a specific stimulus.
15. : The month by which a baby is expected to achieve head control.
16. : Grasp using thumb and index finger, typically develops around 8–9 months.
18. : Movement using arms and legs before walking, may occur backward before forward.
19. : A type of neck reflex where limb position changes based on head turning.
20. : Reflex where stroking the sole causes dorsiflexion of the big toe and fanning of the other toes.
22. : Pattern of development from the center of the body outward.

1. : Direction of development from head to toe.
4. : Reflex tested by tapping the tendon below the kneecap.
5. : A critical gross motor milestone expected to be achieved by 3 months.
6. : Reflex where a contraction is felt after tapping the inner elbow tendon.
7. : Method for estimating gestational age using physical and neurological signs within the first day.
11. : Number of hours after birth in which Dubowitz scoring should be performed.
12. : Reflex in which the baby’s arms first extend outward and then move inward like an embrace when startled.
13. : Reflex where the baby makes walking motions when held upright under the arms.
17. : Simplified version of Dubowitz method using six physical and six neurological criteria.
19. : Reflex assessed by tapping the back of the upper arm while bent at the elbow.
21. : Reflex that begins at birth, involves rhythmic mouth movements when an object is placed in the mouth.
