Although the term “Neurological Soft Signs (NSS)” sounds like it may be referring to signs of a stroke or other impairment, it actually refers to something much more subtle. The reason we say “sift” signs is because NSS refers to a series of testable reflexes, movements, and sensory experiences that may suggest that there is a neurological abnormality this is not related to a specific area of the brain or a specific disorder. Many of these signs are developmental and can be just a delay that is “grown out of.” However, they are also precursory signs that another more serious impairment may be the underlying cause of these abnormalities. Neurological soft signs are typically broken into three subcategories: 1. Sensory integration which may include a. Low muscle tone (hypotonia): signs of this would include toe-walking, difficulty feeding, a lax tongue, a floppy head as a baby, delayed physical milestones, any muscle floppiness (ex: eyelids, arms, etc.) b
