Dorsiflexion of the Big toe indicates a positive Babinski response. This is mostly seen from a central nervous system lesion in the corticospinal tract, but is also seen in unconscious states from drug or alcohol intoxication or the postictal period following a seizure.

Will someone with lumbar stenosis have a positive babinski sign?
Not typical of lumbar spinal stenosis because the claudication is not affecting the descending long tracts of the spinal cord which terminates at L1.
What does the mathematical term reflex mean?
REFLEX is actually an angle which is known as REFLEX ANGLE that is only an angle that is between 180 degrees and 360 degrees.
What type of an angle has 230?
An angle of 230 degrees is a reflex angle.
Is it possible to draw a triange with a reflex angle?
If you mean the reflex angle is an interior angle of the triangle then no. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180o, which mean all the angles must be less than 180o, but a reflex angle is greater than 180o and so cannot be one of these angles.
273° what angle?
Answer Reflex Angle
What is a pathological response?
A pathological reflex is an unexpected/abnormal response to stimulus. For instance, a positive babinski reflex is a pathological reflex.
A positive finding in an adult represents upper motor neuron disease of the pyramidal tract?
Babinski's reflex
Is a Babinski reflex considered a superficial reflex?
yes it is considered as a superficial reflex
What is negative babinski?
there is no such thing as a negative babinski reflex, but a "negative" babinski is a physiological response to a mechanical stimulus of the foot plant. it is usually called plantar reflex or, flexor plantar response. this is a test used to determine the continuity of the corticospinal tract, and sould therefore be "negative" in healthy subjects. infants until 24 months, may show a positive babinski due to the incomplete growth of the cerebrum.
What is the medical definition of the babinski reflex?
The Babinski reflex is a reflex that occurs in infants after the sole of the foot has been firmly stroked. The big toe moves upward toward the surface of the foot while the other toes fan out.
Stroking infants foot results in dorsiflexion and toes to spread apart what reflex?

What is it called when you scrape a blunt object on the bottom of your foot to test for a spinal injury?
Babinski reflex it is positive in adults with spinal cord injury but it is normal in children.
Strokes and toes reflexes?
I believe you may be asking about the Babinski reflex. The Babinski reflex is a normal reflex for the first year or so of life, when the brain is not fully myelinated. It is an upward extension of the big toe and a fanning out of the remainder of the toes. As was mentioned earlier, this reflex normally goes away by the first year of life and when one tries to elicit the response after it goes away, one should see a downward flexion of the toes. In stroke (or spinal cord injury) involving the leg, the Babinski reflex may come back. This is a sign of upper motor neuron injury. The injury can be anywhere from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord, so a Babinski reflex by itself does not signify stroke.
