Testing the Babinski reflex (plantar reflex) for a Babinski sign that is positive/abnormal and normal during the nursing head to toe neuro assessment. The Babinski sign that is positive (abnormal) will elicit dorsiflexion of the big toe and fanning of the other toes. A babinski sign reflex in a baby will show a positive babinski sign ( if the child is less than 24 months of age) which will be dorsiflexion and fanning of the toes. A negative babinski sign (normal) in patients older than 24 months will elicit plantarflexion and curling of the toes.
