Primitive reflexes in infants with cerebral palsy due to Congenital Zika Syndrome and its relationship with other motor features
Infants with CP due to CZS present severe motor abnormalities. Lower motor development age is associated with the persistence of more than 5 primitive reflexes, abnormal posturing and the absence of Parachute Reaction. Parachute Reaction appears to be a prognostic marker of motor impairment severity in CZS-affected infants.
