MCML Assessment And Treatment Of Abnormal Muscle Tone Practice Test

Unintegrated trunk righting disrupts how the body maintains upright alignment and orientation in space. The trunk righting response helps keep the torso aligned with the head and gravity during movement, allowing smooth, coordinated postural adjustments as you move, stand, or change positions. When this reflex isn’t integrated, the trunk may resist repositioning, leading to instability, stiff or compensatory movements, and poor coordination during transitions. Posture relies on timely trunk control with balance and spatial awareness, and transitional movements (like moving from lying to sitting or from sitting to standing) require coordinated trunk adjustments. Because of that broad impact, the description that includes posture, balance, position in space, and transitional movements best captures the effect of an unintegrated trunk righting.
