Infant Step Reflex Assessment Newborn | Pediatric Nursing NCLEX Assessment

Infant step reflex assessment in newborn: Pediatric nursing NCLEX review.

In this video, Nurse Sarah assesses for the step reflex in a newborn / infant. The step reflex occurs when the infant is placed upright with its legs and feet touching a surface.

As you can see in the video, the infant will generally try to take steps as an automatic reflex, despite having the inability to walk.

This reflex will generally disappear around 3-4 months of age. Eventually, stepping and crawling will become a conscious, deliberate movement (as opposed to a mere reflex) as the infant develops.
