'''Elementary postural reflexes''' (ERP) are tonic fixation reflexes.

During passive bending, some limbs allow a short stabilization in a given position - fixation in a flexed position.

They are an indicator of the functional state of the [[extrapyramidal system]], they can also be used to assess muscle tone.
