plantar reflex (Babinski's reflex)

Without the 'cutané' - I don't believe there's any 'official' anacronym in English either.
"It is more properly called the plantar reflex, as Babinski's sign in reality only refers to the pathological form" (Wiki)

Réflexe cutanéo-plantaire (signe de Babinski)

* Lors du grattage de la plante externe à l’aide d’une pointe mousse, il y a flexion des orteils, si on observe une extension lente et majestueuse du gros orteil, on parle d’atteinte pyramidale de la voie motrice

AKA plantar reflex

Peer comment(s):

agree Dr Sue Levy (X) : It is better to use plantar reflex here since the Babinski sign (upgoing toe) has not been observed. The reflex here is normal - flexion.
