Babinski sign

The Babinski sign is also known as the pathological test. The positive manifestation was the dorsiflexion of the big toe, and the remaining four toes were fanned out. It is suspected that the pyramidal tract is damaging and that it is necessary to identify patients who are organic or paralyzed. The patient was lying on his back, his lower limbs were straight, and his body was relaxed. The examiner holds the patient's ankle joint with his hand, and uses a blunt object to gently stroke the skin from the heel of the lateral side of the lateral side of the foot to the bulge of the small toe root and then to the inside, until the vicinity of the big toe. When normal, it can cause the toe to bend. If the hallux dorsiflexion occurs, the remaining toes are fanned out, which is positive for Babinski. Basic Information Specialist classification: neurological examination classification: neuroelectrophysiology Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: normal. Positive: The Babinski sign showed positive dorsiflexion of the big toe, and the remaining four toes were fanned out. It is the most important sign of cone bundle damage and belongs to pathological reflex. This sign can occur in the cerebral cortex motor area and any lesions in the downward projection of the corticospinal tract; it can also occur after various causes of coma, deep sleep, deep anesthesia and epileptic seizures. The occurrence of this sign in children and adults over 2 years of age has a positive pathological significance. In addition, this positive positivity is of great value in discriminating between sputum and sputum. Reminder: The patient is completely relaxed before the examination, so as not to affect the examination results. Normal value When normal, it can cause the toe to bend. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Babinski's sign showed positive dorsiflexion of the big toe, and the remaining four toes were fanned out. It is the most important sign of cone bundle damage and belongs to pathological reflex. This sign can occur in the cerebral cortex motor area and any lesions in the downward projection of the corticospinal tract; it can also occur after various causes of coma, deep sleep, deep anesthesia and epileptic seizures. The occurrence of this sign in children and adults over 2 years of age has a positive pathological significance. In addition, this positive positivity is of great value in discriminating between sputum and sputum. People in need of examination: suspected of damage to the pyramidal tract and the need to identify patients with organic sputum or rickets. Positive results may be diseases: periodic paralysis, sputum, pediatric pyramidal dysfunction syndrome, extrapyramidal damage considerations Taboo before inspection: 1. Before the examiner checks, the patient should be completely relaxed to avoid affecting the test results. 2. Prepare a blunt object to swipe the patient's skin before the test. Requirements for inspection: 1. When the examiner uses a blunt object to swipe the skin of the patient's foot, the intensity should be moderate. 2, the order of the stroke is: the outer edge of the bottom of the foot from the heel to the front of the skin, to the small toe root bulge and then turn to the inside, until the vicinity of the toe. Inspection process Inspection method: The patient is lying on his back, his lower limbs are straight, and his body is relaxed. The examiner holds the patient's ankle joint by hand, and uses a blunt object to gently stroke the skin from the heel of the lateral side of the lateral side of the foot to the bulge of the small toe root and then to the inside until the vicinity of the toe. When normal, it can cause the toe to bend. If there is a dorsiflexion of the toes, the remaining toes are fanned out, which is positive for Babinski. The above is a typical Babinski sign positive reaction. Sometimes only the dorsiflexion of the big toe is present, or only fan-shaped distraction occurs. Patients with strong reaction may be accompanied by ankle dorsiflexion and knee and hip flexion (triflexion), or a positive reaction at the contralateral side. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate population: Patients with lower limbs, illness, or injury. Adverse reactions and risks Nothing.
