When assessing infants, don’t forget about primitive reflexes 👶✨ For example, the ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex) causes the arm and leg on the side the head is turned toward to extend, while the opposite side flexes. So if baby’s head is turned right, you’ll see extension on the right and flexion on the left — totally normal at this stage! 💡That means when you’re checking range of motion, it might look like one side is tight or restricted… but really, it’s just that reflex doing its job
