grasp reflex. n. An involuntary bending of the fingers in response to tactile or tendon stimulation on the palm, producing an uncontrollable grasp, and associated with frontal lobe brain lesions.he reflex is a pathologic manifestation of diseases of the premotor cortex. In young infants the tonic grasp reflex is normal: the child can grasp the examiner's fingers so firmly that he or she can be lifted into the air.
The palmar grasp reflex appears at birth and persists until five or six months of age. When an object is placed in the infant's hand and strokes their palm, the fingers will close and they will grasp it with a palmar grasp.hese reflexes are absent due to the development of the frontal lobes as a child transitions normally into child development. These primitive reflexes are also called infantile, infant or newborn reflexes.
