Tympanic membrane retraction Tympanic membrane retraction describes a condition in which a part of the eardrum lies deeper within the ear than its normal position. The eardrum comprises two parts, the pars tensa, which is the main part of the eardrum, and the pars flaccida, which is a smaller part of the eardrum located above the pars tensa. Either or both of these parts may become retracted.

This reflex is also called the walking or dance reflex because a baby appears to take steps or dance when held upright with his or her feet touching a solid surface.

- By the age of 9 to 10 months, most babies figure out that crawling offers them mobility and by the age of 12 months, they master moving forward and backward. Crawling is an important milestone which is one step before complete mobility – walking. Crawling is soon followed by pulling up to a standing position and training first steps while holding onto furniture. However, it is important to keep in mind that some babies skip the crawling stage.

Lower Extremity Abnormalities in Children Rotational and angular problems are two types of lower extremity abnormalities common in children. Rotational problems include intoeing and out-toeing. Intoeing is caused by one of three types of deformity: metatarsus adductus, internal tibial torsion, and increased femoral anteversion. Out-toeing is less common than intoeing, and its causes are similar but opposite to those of intoeing. These include femoral retroversion and external tibial torsion.

Coronal clefts in infants â Rare differential diagnosis of traumatic injuries of vertebral bodies in battered children Accidental and nonaccidental spinal injuries are generally rarely seen in infants. If affected, vertebral bodies usually present compression fractures due to forced hyperflexion or hypertension. Radiographic examination of the infantile skeleton can reveal a radiolucent band running through a vertebral body. These so called vertebral clefts are mainly visualized in the lateral spinal radiograph.

This movement strengthens leg muscles, and your infant will need that strength to roll over, which will probably happen around 4 to 6 months of age. Infants can grasp reflexively from birth, but during the first 3 months of life they'll begin to open and shut their hands and start moving their hands to their mouths. Your baby may be able to shake a rattle or a toy that is placed in her or her hands — and drop it when no longer interested in it.

Hypotonia in Infants Hypotonia in Infants. Hypotonia is reduced resistance to passive movement of joints. The deficits causing hypotonia can originate in the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, and muscle. The differential diagnosis of hypotonia is organized anatomically into central and peripheral causes.
