Persistence of primitive reflexes may flag motor or learning issues in schoolchildren; leaves open need for targeted screening protocols.
What are the problems associated with the persistence of primitive reflexes in healthy school-going children?
The persistence of primitive reflexes in school-aged children is associated with neuromotor, attention, and academic difficulties, highlighting the potential value of early detection and reflex integration therapy.
Sharma et al. (2024) conducted a review in Persisting primitive reflexes (n=9). Persistence of primitive reflexes was evaluated on Neurological impairments, motor, balance, and learning difficulties. Persistence of primitive reflexes like ATNR and TLR in children aged 4-12 years is associated with neurological impairments, attention deficits, reading difficulties, and gait impairments.
