Description

The aim of this protocol is to provide a standardized and unified methodology for the assessment, scoring, and documentation of primitive reflexes and frontal release signs in children over 3 years of age, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. The assessment enables the recording of individual reflex profiles, the statistical and clinical interpretation of the results, and the early detection of developmental disorders, neurological abnormalities, and neuropsychological indicators.
