Elementary postural reflexes
From WikiLectures
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.
