reflexes as a cause of ADHD. When a child has retained his or her primitive reflexes the symptoms expressed depend on which specific primitive reflex failed to integrate with the rest of the central nervous system. Here is a list of some examples of various retained primal reflexes that has been shared by Dr. Yannick Pauli: “ • A retained Moro reflex results in the inability to control emotions. The child might be aggressive, insensitive, but also loving and compassionate. This may also cause

BIOL 2010: Anatomy and Physiology I CNS Injury: Brain vs Spinal Cord Directions: Read the case study below and complete the questions at the end.

Module 08 Case Study: CNS Movement Disorders Part I—"Harry" Questions 1. What condition or conditions (disease/diseases) could Harry have as described in this case? Which one would be your primary diagnosis? In a very general explanation, describe this condition/disease. (1 point) Harry suffers from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.  This disease affects a person’s motor neurons affecting voluntary motor control by damaging both the upper motor neuron and lower

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is the common cause of acquired spastic paresis in adults. The patient may present with the subtle findings in their gait or balance that may have been present over years or with quadriparesis that developed over the time of a few hours. The most unique feature may be the condition with its subtle and varied presentation, so that its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. Furthermore, they usually present with neck stiffness because of the presence of advanced

On October 5, 2016, our Life-Span Development class had the opportunity to observe the physical, cognitive, and social development of Lewis, a three month old male infant. The observation was conducted at Dordt College in Room CL 1143 and the infant’s parent consented to participate in the live observation. From the instant that Lewis and his mother walked into the classroom, the pair exemplified Santrock’s concept of bonding (Santrock, 2014). The front facing carrier sling allowed the infant to

The swelling he is having is coming from the lymphatic fluids that are not being taken back into the bloodstream. Since the Lymphatic system helps cleanse the blood

some of the things I wanted to observe could have gone either way. The first reflex I tested out was the reflex to maintain oxygen (BOOK, 100). I first explained to her mother what I would be doing, so she did not think I was trying to suffocate her child. To test out this reflex I gently placed a thin blanket over Adeline’s face and right away she thrashed to move it off, restoring a better airway. This is a reflex I would except to stay in place, since it is human nature to do this. The next

On February 17, 2016, our Life-Span Development class observed the physical, cognitive, and social development of Asher, a 5.5-month-old male. The observation was conducted at Dordt College in room CL2260 and the infant’s parent consented to participate in the live observation. Asher was quite sick and later saw a doctor, so the findings of this report may not entirely represent Asher’s development. Asher was 5 weeks along when his mother, Abby, found out she was pregnant.

Although these movements are done without a purpose, they in fact resemble more mature movements which we develop later in life,like walking. If you watch a new born kicking
