Muscle tone/Developmental reflexes
Muscle tone/Persistence of developmental (primitive) reflexes: Assessment should be performed for abnormal tone or deep tendon reflexes, or for asymmetric movements (moving one side more than other) as well as for the persistence of developmental reflexes (e.g. Moro, asymmetric tonic neck, palmar grasp) beyond 5-6 months. These may be early signs of cerebral palsy or neuromotor disorder and suggest the need for further assessment.
