Babinski Reflex

[louloutinkerbelle]

Can someone please explain what a lesion in the pyrimidal tract means - I had the plantar response in the right and equivocal (whatever that means) in the left foot. Thanks

[Jayceearegee]

@louloutinkerbelle A lesion in your central nervous system, eg., brain.

[toepy1986]

Thx. It was good!

[tisorigon]

There is an error. It's uncorrect to talk about "Babinski reflex". Infact Babinski reflex do not exist, exist just the "Babinski sign", that's the patologic response when you evoke the "plantar relfex". And it means that there is a lesion in the Pyramidal Tract

Thank u, that was awesome

[Afath7]

Thanks alot

[sheilamioni]

Thanks! super helpfull!

[thoreric86]

must be ppl performing on us or we can do it on ourselves?... coz i did it on myself, no effect...=='

[danmesk]

thanks, i'm studing neurology, it helps my memory

[mssg2000]

Thank you do much sir = )

That was really helpful and clear ........

Cheers : )

[jamily801]

thank you , thats very helpful

[VendPrekmurec]

gret video... more videos like this and less Lady Gagy and nonsense videos

[HukAmarok]

thank you! regards from Poland!

[beckfiddler]

What does it mean if the toes go up one time you do and then down another time? Is that normal or abnormal?

[iamacoolkorean]

thanks for the info.

hi

[redrocketsaa]

Its called the PLANTAR reflex. If it is positive, it is said that you have a "positive babinski sign" There is no "negative babinski sign, just like there is no negative murphy sign, and there is no negative murphy reflex. The babinski sign is just what you call a babinski reflex that results in up-going toes in someone older than 1 year.

[jeffrich1212]

you are actually supposed to stroke from the heel toward the little toe, and then laterally across the foot just posterior to the toes. so on the patient's left foot, the stroke would make the shape of a "7" and a backwards "7" on the patient's right foot.

very informative

What is a home treatment or easy treatment if the Bobinski test positive on both legs ?

[Beneslachto]

Remember, a positive Babinski sign indicates upper motor lesion in an adult. This is a neurological condition. As such, you should consult a doctor or neurologist for treatments and/or remedies.

[SamLangford1]

@Beneslachto Don't feed the trolls.

[Gandalf17]

@Beneslachto no, he dont have to waste his money and time in a neurologist. If you have an upper motor lesion there is nothing to do. No cure, no treatment. Nothing.

[kurbanovich]

if Im Bobinski test positive,what should i do after,how can I heel my self and can it effect my normal life?

[Elisheval]

Thanks! i've watched a few videos, and yours is the best- you really explain whats right and wrong!

[Buthayanah]

My name is Babinszki ,and I'm hungarian.:)

[cipga]

@Buthayanah congratulations! you've got reflex!

[malgosiaredmond]

Very clear explanation thanks.

[rrlovesakura]

thanks , tomorrow will be my return demonstration regarding P.A. 2 and 3. nice 5 stars :)

[StevenBoBeevin]

you are babinski

[Aretha32]

Thanks for this helps a lot.

[wishscreed]

ok thanks im doing a case study for anatomy class and this helped alot thank u

[macmitchdog]

The reflex is named after DR Babinski; Its caled that when the planter reflex is abnormal. i.e. there is some neurological deficit, otherwise it refered to as the Planter reflex.

Regards,

Mitch,,, p.s I have the reflex, :)

[snigerts]

There is no such thing as a "Babinski reflex". The correct term for what you are testing is "plantar reflex". When the plantar reflex comes in the form of toe dorsiflexion and fanning, we call it the "Babinski's sign" (again, not "reflex"). There's no such thing as a "negative Babinski sign", either. You should refer to a "normal plantar reflex" when the Babinski sign is absent (not "negative").

[shitskadoodle]

Yes! Alternatively you can record the test as "upgoing toe(s)" = + Babinski sign or "downgoing toe(s)" = - Babinski sign.

[shegar2009]

@snigerts....isn't that babinski is only present with infants? not on adult right?

[mahmoudfws]

it's positive also in people with upper motor lesion (e.g stroke in the internal capsule or even in the spinal cord before reachin the motor neurons, gamma and alpha, in the ventral horn).. and also in camotose people, or under full anasthesia.. and in children less than 18 months it's positive because the nerves are not fully myliented..

[rashid2t1]

rashid2t1 Absolutely correct what you say snigerts

[victorkwee]

@snigerts Damn right, I hate it when people call it the Babinski Reflex, it's just wrong!

[Defender78]

this guys toes arent moving at all... can this be self done? I know you cant tickle yourself, but is the Bab sign different?

[melmort1]

Can you get an accurate response with doing this to yourself?

[orionbrooksclardy]

Thanks for the info.

[kiokenx31]

good job i just learned something

[emignatius]

Specifically, the babinski reflex is a primitive reflex and is normal for a child up to a year old. It is used to test for upper motor neuron lesion such as stroke. There are other tests with babinski-type responses such as oppenheim, chaddock, rossolimo, gonda, stransky, schaefer, and gordon, which all points to an UMNL.

[lockie84]

its normal for a baby to have babinski because of the delayed development of the brain

[kdyrcz]

Yes an infant will have an extensor reflex (+babinski) from age 12-18 months because spinal cord is not fully myelinated yet.

[knewdorn]

I think gfpick is right but I'm not quite sure,

[xyopea]

Simple and clear. Thank you for the explanation.

[fareenazahari]

wasn't it for upper motor neuron lesion?

[waqas1184]

This reflex is to demonstrate if there is a damage to the Lower Motor Nueron (LMN) to be specific

[samer692]

it demonstrates UPPER MOTOR NEURON DAMAGE

[beyondaverage]

definitely upper motor neurone lesion

dear medical student, lesson one, if you were unsure, the last thing you should do is to act as if you were.

[betelgeuse81]

awesome. im studying for an anat and phys exam right now and this was helpful. thanks!

[Crosstickle]

Thank you.

[gfpick]

Thanks for posting the video... To be clear, you should state that EXTENSION (or dorsiflexion if you wish) of the toes is abnormal, not FLEXION as you say.

[maimedeclat]

I am watching all of this persons videos, i am a nursing student and i have to perform all the reflexes with very little demonstration for a grade. these are such a help. thank you.
