Statokinetic reflex

A statokinetic reflex is the body’s response to changes in the environment that are associated with the speed and direction of movement. It arises as a result of the interaction of the brain and peripheral parts of the nervous system and ensures coordination of movements when accelerating and decelerating an object or its orientation in space.

Reflexes of a statokinetic nature play an important role in human life; they ensure standing and movement of a person. With a disease of the spinal column, changes can occur that lead to the loss or decrease in the effectiveness of these reflexes. The formation of these reflexes occurs at a certain period during the development of the thoracic region, lower back and buttocks. The reflexes in question are responsible for the correct positioning of the head, torso, upper and lower extremities. A balanced set of work with the child’s statokinetic reflexes ensures the correctness of his physical and intellectual functions, helps with the development of a correct and healthy gait, and also forms correct posture. During training, it is necessary to monitor the symmetrical position of the limbs and the straightness of the torso.
