Infant

This longitudinal study examined 69 infants ages 1–7 months to better understand tactile sensitivity and motor responses to touch, including infants with prior experiences such as surgery, anesthesia, or critical illness. Researchers found that motor responses increased with stimulus intensity, while pain sensitivity changed with age in ways that reflected typical nervous system development. Importantly, tactile sensitivity remained stable and was not significantly affected b

This longitudinal study examined whether the head righting reflex (HRR) in newborns could predict later developmental outcomes by assessing 54 infants shortly after birth and following them to age five. Researchers found that infants with a strong and present HRR demonstrated better balance, speech and language development, and social-emotional outcomes later in childhood. In contrast, infants with absent or incomplete reflexes reached developmental milestones, such as sittin

This case report describes the use of MNRI® (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) techniques alongside physical therapy in an infant with severe amniotic band syndrome. Following intervention, improvements were observed in reflex patterns, motor responses, and overall developmental functioning. The findings suggest that MNRI may support neuromotor development and early rehabilitation, even in complex congenital conditions. Read the full Publication
