Which of the following is true regarding the Babinski reflex?
Answers:
A) Plantar flexion is a negative Babinski sign and is pathological in adults and infants
B) A negative babinski sign in an adult suggests that descending motor tracts or higher
centres which normally provide inhibition to spinal reflexes have been damaged
C) A positive Babinski sign in an adult is indicative of damage to descending motor
tracts or higher centres that normally provide inhibition to spinal reflexes.
, D) Plantar flexion is a positive Babinski sign and is normal in adults and infants -
ANSWER C) A positive Babinski sign in an adult is indicative of damage to descending
motor tracts or higher centres that normally provide inhibition to spinal reflexes.
