Parachute reflex disappears _____
The parachute reflex occurs at 7-8 months of age and remains throughout life. It can be evoked by holding the infant&;s trunk and then suddenly lowering the infant as if he or she were falling. The arms will spontaneously extend to break the infant&;s fall. This reflex is a prerequisite to walking. Ref: Nelson textbook of pediatrics 21st edition Pgno: 3059
