massive sign of a neurological disorder.

[SeventhSandwich]

If you want to test yourself for the babinski sign, take the soft side of a spoon or any soft metal object and stroke the bottom of your foot until it tickles.

If your toes curve in forward, that's normal.

If your 4 toes curve in foward, but your big toe curves up, that's not normal at all.

try it. also I'm serious about the neurological disorder part. Having a babinski sign when testing the plantar's reflex is a really bad sign.

You're doing it wrong then.

It's sometimes slight, look at the video.

First comment

I would like to point out that it's called planter reflex and the fanning of toes is called babiniski sign

Okay, all toes twitch very slightly downward.

[TheKhoz]

I have a feeling this is just a trick to get me to stroke the bottom of my foot with a spoon...

[Colten]

my foot fell off...

You're good! C:

[Altered]

My toes fell off and did an Irish jig.

What's that mean?

[carolcat]

I'm scared to try this.

[Doomonkey]

It would be kind of cool to have a crazy brain though.
