A preschool child with spastic cerebral palsy uses "bunny hopping" for functional mobility during an OT
evaluation. This indicates that a primitive reflex pattern is being used for mobility. What reflex is most

position. It provides bilateral arm extension and hip flexion with the head raised (and bilateral arm
flexion and hip extension when the head is lowered), which can be used to move forward.

is very important to encourage the child in independent exploratory behavior in order to develop task
competence and become less withdrawn.
