ATNR stands for the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex. The reflex is present in utero and typically integrates by 6-7 months of age. It is important for separating head and arm movements (1).
How do you integrate ATNR?
This can be achieved through activities over a roller or leaning over the edge of the bed, requiring the child to support their body weight with their arms while working. Playing on all fours or crawling on the floor while looking at surrounding stimuli is also a good way to integrate the ATNR.
What is the purpose of the ATNR reflex?
The Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) develops muscle tone and vestibular stimulation in utero. It also develops kicking movements and provides continuous motion which stimulates the balance mechanism and increases neural connections.
