I was a man with a vision
I was a man on a mission
Lost all emotion
My mind in commotion
Cause I ain't own nothing
I was feeling so worthless
Time I done waisted
Work I done put in
Nothing to show for it
Except for some trophy's
I won by default
It was all my fault
Should of wanted it more
Feeling so empty
Gotta close up the whole

I needed something to call my own
I needed something to show who I was
I needed something to show I ain't done
I needed something to show I'm the one
I needed something to show I ain't run
Feeling so weak but I gotta push on
I work all week just to fund what I'm doing
You won't find me cause I'm up before dawn
Dawn

I know that these cats like to play with the guns
So If I get hit then my music live on
If I get hit then my music live on
That's what I live for

Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it down ouu
Let me break it down
Let me break it down

Allow me to explain and clarify

I was a man with a vision
I had a clear goal in mind

I was a man on a mission
I was determined and focused on achieving my goal

Lost all emotion
I became disconnected from my feelings due to my singular focus on my goal

My mind in commotion
My thoughts and emotions were turbulent and scattered

Cause I ain't own nothing
I felt worthless and had nothing to show for my efforts

I was feeling so worthless
My lack of progress made me feel devalued

Time I done waisted

Work I done put in

Nothing to show for it
I had no tangible results to demonstrate my hard work

I needed something to call my own
I desired ownership and validation for my efforts

I needed something to show who I was

Feeling so weak but I gotta push on
Despite feeling discouraged, I must persist in pursuing my goals

You won't find me cause I'm up before dawn
I work hard and tirelessly to achieve success, often sacrificing sleep and leisure time

I know that these cats like to play with the guns
I am aware of the dangerous lifestyles some people lead

So If I get hit then my music live on
If I suffer harm or death, my legacy will live on through my music

That's what I live for
My passion and purpose in life is my music

Let me break it down
I want to clearly communicate and explain myself

I have literally studied this reflexes from others YT and websites.. Your explanations are the most crystal clear and easily understood. Love it... I am waiting more on primitive reflexes.. Subs and Like..

OT Rex

This made me so happy to hear! It's such a tricky topic so I'm glad it helped you understand it better. :)

Your explanations is always the best!! Thank you so much

Leanne Savoie

Hey! I like the way you explain everything / still trying to understand how to assess it. My daughter has hardly any head and neck control - she was diagnosed with hypotonia (still under investigation for the cause). How do you assess ATNR in a baby with central hypotonia? It’s honestly like she can’t communicate properly to her arms/legs at times so I’m not sure how I’d be able to assess if it’s still there or not. Since she was born she’s shown inconsistency with reflexes. For ex. Her startle reflex was more pronounced at two months then it was in her first few weeks of life - and it has now integrated by about 4 months

Beautifully explained!! Looking forward to many more videos! Subscribed!

Wow! I've never commented on a YT video, but I had to say "Thank You" publicly. This is one for my personal library! Such a short, simple, CONCISE explanation! P.S; thanks for not singing and not doing all of that 'extra' stuff!!

OT Rex

So glad it helped! Thanks for the lovely comment.

Shrutika Rajurkar

very nicely explained .....thank you so much . looking forward for more such videos

Thank you!! What kinds of interventions would you recommend for ATNR/STNR that weren't integrated? The only thing I'm aware of so far is the MNRI method for reflex integration. I wonder if there's anything more functional?

OT Rex

Hi Alyssa! It depends on the age and functional ability of the person we are working it. I incorporate the movements into yoga poses for my little ones and give them silly names like the cat pose. STNR and ATNR can be tackled in floor time play with tunnels and crawl/creep chase and even on the yoga ball if you have them weightbear on their stomach and turn their head side to side or up and down if that makes sense. I find that it's still effective as passive exercises if the person has limited active movement as well. There are a lot of free videos on youtube with exercises. Hope that helps!

maria alexandra Benitez

Thank you for sharing what helped you learn ATNR vs STNR

Taj

Thank you. It was easy to understand compared to what I saw. Good job.

OT Rex

Great to hear!

When testing ATNR in an older child (in quadruped or standing), if the reflex isn't integrated, will you see the same bent elbow if you ask them to turn their head actively? Or will this only be the case passively?

OT Rex

4y↑2

Hi Rebecca. Great question! I typically observe it when they are asked to turn their head actively. If you see arms bending or legs wriggling, the reflex is still active. Hope that helps.

Thank you! this was amazing

Bryan Smith

Ot tube is prob the best channel if occupational therapy students are looking to prepare for their exams in my opinion

OT Rex

Thanks for the kind comment Bryan!

Great video

Thank you so much

At 7:14, why would the arms bending with head extension indicate the STNR reflex is still active? My understanding is that STNR causes UE extension with head extension, and therefore, expect that a non-integrated STNR reflex would present with UE extension with head extension.

@OT Rex is there a connection between an active STNR and weak core muscles/posture?

OT Rex

4y↑2

Hi! I can see why that picture may be misleading. A non-integrated STNR does cause UE extension with head extension. The picture at 7:14 shows signs of possible non-integration when a child is in quadruped pose [lower body(LB) is in flexion]. It is not saying that arm flexion and head extension happen together for STNR+. The arms mildly bending (especially if the child is very unstable in this position) can be an indicator of upper body weakness which is a possible sign of non-integrated STNR. In the picture, the child is in LB flexion+head extension but you see postural/UE weakness if the child is swaying their weight back or their arms are shaky/slightly bent. If the STNR+ child had their head in flexion, their arms would bend much more while their LB extended as if they were doing a bear crawl. For textbook purposes, it's best to study it as written at 4:57 but in clinical practice, we look for other signs in addition to this in case they have mild STNR if that makes sense. I usually see kids shaking/fidgety and their elbows bend just a little because they're trying to so hard to hold the position in STNR+ cases like 7:14. I hope that makes sense!
