 The Spinal Galant Reflex involves hip rotation when the back is touched to the sides of the spine. This reflex most likely works with the ATNR to aid in the passage down the birth canal. It is also thought to help babies balance and coordinate the body for belly crawling and creeping. It may be connected to bladder function because a high percentage of children who are bedwetting past age 5 have an active Spinal Galant reflex.
