At 6 months, one expects a complete, full Landau which is extension of the back and legs actively (with mobility, not stiffly hypertonic).
Between 12-24 months this reaction becomes integrated secondary to aging of child and body weight increases. |

Term
| As infants develop, they may demonstrate moments in time when a reflex is weakly present, scattered, or may change in presentation to only include a portion of the original reflexive movement. This phenomenon is referred to as...... |
|
Definition

Term
| Infants are predominated by reflexive movement. They then move toward establishing efficient, higher-level, volitional motor patterns. As this maturity happens, their reflexes are no longer present. This phenomenon is referred to as....... |
