The ATNR (asymmetrical tonic neck reflex) shows up early in infancy. When a baby turns their head, the arm and leg on that side extend while the opposite side bends. This reflex helps with early coordination and visual development. But it’s meant to integrate as the brain matures. When ATNR remains active, the body may still want to move with the head – even during tasks that require stability. This can affect: • handwriting and pencil control • crossing midline • hand dominance • eye-hand coord

The ATNR should integrate around 6 months, but sometimes it doesn’t! Movement-based primitive reflex activities can help kickstart the reflex into integration to help it lie dormant in the brain stem. These two exercises are functional, play activities that are beneficial for the ATNR! 1. Tall kneel mummy walks- walking on the knees with the hands out in front on the body, turning the head side to side. Bonus points for reading visuals simultaneously.

Is Your Child Clumsy? Let’s Check for the ATNR & STNR! 🧠🚸 If your kid seems quite clumsy or has Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), there are two key reflexes to check: the ATNR and STNR. These reflexes can interfere with coordination and slow down cerebellum development, which is crucial for managing DCD. ATNR Test 🔎 Position: Get your child on all fours. Head Movement: Turn their head to each side. Observe: If the elbows buckle, the ATNR reflex is active. STNR Test 🔎 Position: Keep

Dr. Josh Madsen D.C., FIBFN-FN on Instagram: "Ever wonder why your kid’s whole body moves when they turn their head? 🤔 We ran a quick test. Arms out, eyes closed, feet together. When we turned her head, her whole torso followed. That’s not supposed to happen. This is a standing version of the ATNR reflex. By 6 months old, that reflex should be gone. If it’s not, it causes problems with balance, coordination, even reading and focus. She hasn’t learned how to move her head independently of her bo

It helps with early motor development, eye coordination and rolling. *If you’re having difficulty remembering this reflex, think”ATNR= Arm Turns, Neck Rotates”💡 it kind of looks like a fencer position too🤺 A child may display these difficulties if retained: •bilateral coordination •crossing midline •handwriting •fine motor tasks •reading •posture ⭐️How to test: •have the child

But if it’s still active in older kids, it can lead to: Trouble focusing Poor handwriting Midline issues (struggling to cross arms/legs over) Clumsiness in sports Emotional overwhelm or ADHD-like symptoms 🤯 Most parents never get told about this reflex — yet it’
