What else can I help you with?
What is a reflex that compliments a withdrawal reflex by making compensatory adjustments on the opposite side of the body receiving the stimulus?
The crossed extensor reflex complements the withdrawal reflex by causing compensatory adjustments on the opposite side of the body receiving the stimulus. For example, if you step on a sharp object and withdraw your foot on one side, the crossed extensor reflex will help to support your body weight and maintain balance on the other side.
What reflexes would be contra-lateral?
The crossed-extensor reflex involves contralateral response. When one side of the body is stimulated, the reflex causes the opposite side to respond, such as stepping on a tack with one foot causing the other leg to support more of the body's weight.
The patellar reflex helps the body to maintain what?
The patellar reflex helps the body to maintain balance and coordination by keeping the muscles surrounding the knee joint responsive and ready to support the body's weight and movements. It also helps to protect the knee joint from injury by quickly stabilizing the joint in response to sudden changes in leg position.

Moro reflex?
DefinitionMoro reflex is type of involuntary response that is present at birth. It normally disappears after 3 or 4 months.See also: Infant reflexesAlternative NamesStartle response; Startle reflex; Embrace reflexConsiderationsThe Moro reflex may be demonstrated by placing the infant face up on a soft, padded surface. The head is gently lifted with enough support to just begin to remove the body weight from the pad. (Note: The infant's body should not be lifted off the pad, only the weight removed.)The head is then released suddenly, allowed to fall backward momentarily, but quickly supported again (not allowed to bang on the padding). The infant may have a "startled" look, and the arms fling out sideways with the palms up and the thumbs flexed. As the reflex ends, the infant draws its arms back to the body, elbows flexed, and then relaxes.Common CausesThis is a normal reflex present in newborn infants. Absence of the Moro reflex in an infant is abnormal. Presence of a Moro reflex in an older infant, child, or adult is also abnormal.Two-sided absence of the Moro reflex suggests damage to the brain or spinal cord.One-sided absence of the Moro reflex suggests the possibility of a broken shoulder bone or injury to the group of nerves that run from the lower neck and upper shoulder area. Conditions associated with such nerve injury include Erb's palsy and Erb-Duchenne paralysis. Loss of muscle function on one side of the body may also produce an asymmetrical Moro reflex.Home CareIt is not necessary to check for a Moro reflex at home. Your doctor will check this reflex during an office visit.Call your health care provider ifCall your health care provider if you think your baby may have a broken shoulder bone or injury to the nerves that run from the lower neck and upper shoulder area (brachial plexus injury), which can cause the loss of the Moro reflex on one side.What to expect at your health care provider's officeAn abnormal Moro reflex is usually discovered by the health care provider. The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about the child's medical history. Medical history questions may include:History of the labor and birthDetailed family historyOther symptomsIf the reflex is absent or abnormal, further tests may need to be done to examine the child's muscles and nerves. Diagnostic tests, in cases of decreased or absent reflex, may include:Shoulder x-rayTests for disorders associated with brachial plexus injuryReferencesZafeiriou DI.
