What is the Babinski reflex (plantar reflex)?
The Babinski reflex (plantar reflex) was described by the neurologist Joseph Babinski in 1899. Since that time, it has been incorporated into the standard neurological examination. The Babinski reflex is easy to elicit without sophisticated equipment.
When does the Babinski reflex go away?
The Babinski reflex occurs after the sole of the foot has been firmly stroked. The big toe then moves upward or toward the top surface of the foot. The other toes fan out. This reflex is normal in children up to 2 years old. It disappears as the child gets older. It may disappear as early as 12 months.
How is the Babinski reflex elicit without patient participation?
The Babinski reflex is easy to elicit without sophisticated equipment. Since it is a reflex, it does not require active patient participation and therefore can be performed in patients who are otherwise unable to cooperate with the neurological exam.
When should the Babinski reflex be tested?
The Babinski reflex, also called the plantar reflex, is commonly tested soon after birth and during routine wellness check-ups. It assesses normal development and may offer an early indication of developmental issues. The Babinski reflex is relatively easy to test at home and with little training.
