Hello I’m abit confused with Babinski sign, Gordon sign and related techniques.
Online it says with Gordon’s sign etc it will elicit a “ extensor plantar reflex”. And in more detail it’s referring to the big toe (Babinski sign) going BACKWARDS/fanning out.
When I and or my doctors do the Babinski test my toes curl INWARDS etc always, however I’m abit confused; when I do the Gordon test, my toes still curl INWARDS, is this normal? What I’m asking is, whatever test I do ALWAYS makes my toes curl inwards which I was told is normal however online it doesn’t specify if Gordon’s test is suppose to have any reaction, it only says it’s abnormal if your big toe goes backwards?
Is it normal for your toes to go/curl inwards when doing the Gordon’s test? The same curl that you see when you do the Babinski test (negative result good)???
