Detailed explanation-1: -The Babinski reflex occurs after the sole of the foot has been firmly stroked. The big toe then moves upward or toward the top surface of the foot. The other toes fan out. This reflex is normal in children up to 2 years old.
Detailed explanation-2: -Babinski reflex When the sole of the foot is firmly stroked, the big toe bends back toward the top of the foot and the other toes fan out. This is a normal reflex up to about 2 years of age.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Babinski reflex is tested by stroking the underside of the baby’s foot, from the top of the sole toward the heel. The baby’s toes will fan out and the big toe will move upward. In an adult, the foot and toes will curl inward.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Babinski reflex-also called the plantar reflex-is a response to stimulation of the bottom of the foot. It can help doctors evaluate a neurological problem in people over age 2. If your child has this reflex and doesn’t show any other signs of neurological problems, however, there’s probably no need to worry.
