ATNR, STNR, Moro, and TLR are early reflexes that should fade as the brain matures. Rough guide. ATNR around 6 to 8 months, STNR around 8 to 10 months, Moro around 3 to 4 months, and parts of TLR can persist up to about 3.5 years. When they hang on, the nervous system leans on primitive patterns and the midline cerebellum has to work overtime 🧠✨ What you might see in real life. Forward head posture, rounded shoulders, flattened or exaggerated spinal curves, and even lateral curves as the A to P

This is a reflex test... It's called the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR). This reflex should normally integrate (go away) by around 6 months of age. If it's still present later, it can affect posture, hand-eye coordination, and even reading and writing skills. You can check this on your child by having them in a "puppy push-up" position, gently turning their head side to side, and watching to see if their arms straighten or bend in response.

Patty Cake for ATNR Reflex Integration! 🎉👐 The ATNR reflex is super helpful for babies learning to crawl, but if it sticks around too long, it might muddle up coordination and attention in older kids. Why Patty Cake? Patty Cake is a fun game to play if your kid has retained the ATNR reflex. It encourages them to cross the midline of their body, boosting brain communication and coordination as well as engaging the cerebellum 👫 Ready, Set, Patty-Cake! Grab a partner and get those hands clapping

OTFC Minute Modules: Bub Club Edition What is ATNR and why do we test it? The ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Nerve Reflex) is a reflex seen in babies which helps them learn hand-eye coordination and prepares them for later movements like reaching and rolling. As babies grow, this reflect should fade. If it sticks around too long, it may affect things like crawling, writing or focusing in school. | OTFC Group
