Galant reflex

[gəlant′]

a normal response in the neonate when held in ventral suspension (face down) to move the hips toward the stimulated side when the back is stroked along the spinal cord. The reflex disappears by about 4 weeks of age. Absence of the reflex may indicate spinal cord lesion. Also called trunk incurvation reflex.
