Reflex Installation Optical

The optical adjustment reflex in children is one of the most important reflexes that helps the child develop and adapt to the world around him. This reflex appears in children aged 4 to 10 months and is a reaction to sudden approach to a horizontal surface, in which the child automatically extends his arms forward.

This reflex is important for the development of the child, as it helps him learn to maintain balance and coordinate his movements. When a child is in a belly-down position in an adult's arms, he begins to feel unsteady and instinctively tries to stretch his arms forward to maintain balance. This exercise helps the child develop the muscles of the arms and back, and also improves coordination of movements.

In addition, the optical righting reflex can be used to diagnose various diseases and developmental disorders in children. For example, if a child cannot extend his arms forward when approaching a horizontal surface, this may indicate problems with the nervous system or the presence of other disorders.

Thus, the optical righting reflex is important for the normal development of a child and can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. It is important to remember that this reflex should occur normally in all children, and if it is absent or weakly expressed, then this may be a sign of a developmental disorder or disease.

You can establish the reflex in this way: the baby is placed on his stomach so that his head is outside the crib or in the changing table. Next, the adult holds him, placing his feet on a support and pressing him to himself by the buttocks, and places his hands at the level of his stomach, with his palms turned towards himself.
