Afterwards, a positive Babinski sign may indicate damage to the corticospinal tract. Full video available here: h

BABINSKI SIGN FOR UPPER MOTOR NEURON LESION The Babinski Sign is probable the most famous test for upper motor neuron lesions, which included cervical spondylotic myelopathy as well. It is another pathological reflex and is refered to as the lower limb equivalent of the Hoffmann's Sign. In infants the Babinski sign is commonly observed due to the fact that corticospinal pathways that run from the brain down the spinal cord are not fully myelinated at an age between 12-24 months yet, so the refle
