C89515 Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Assessment C89506 NICHD Newborn Screening Terminology C C89512 Barlow's Maneuver Barlow's Maneuver Useful in assessing for developmental dysplasia of the hip, this test is performed when the thigh is pushed posteriorly and the hip is adducted. Should the hip become dislocated by this movement, the result is considered positive. A physical examination performed on infants to screen for developmental dysplasia of the hip that attempts to displace the femoral head posteriolaterally from within the acetabulum. C84749 Newborn Examination C89506 NICHD Newborn Screening Terminology C C89513 Heel to Ear Measurement Heel to Ear Measurement Useful in assessing neonatal neuromuscular development, this is obtained when the infant is placed in a supine position and the infant's feet are grasped pulled toward the ipsilateral ears. The examiner measures the angle made by the arc from the table to the infant's heels; increased angle for age suggests hypotonia, and decreased angle for age suggests hypertonia. A test of neuromuscular maturity, which measures knee extensibility and resistance to extensor stretching, used during the clinical assessment of gestational age and muscle tone during the first five days of life.

If the hip is dislocated, it will relocate with an audible clunk, which is a positive result for this test.

A test of neuromuscular maturity, which measures wrist extensibility and resistance to extensor stretching, used during the clinical assessment of gestational age and muscle tone during the first five days of life. C84749 Newborn Examination C89506 NICHD Newborn Screening Terminology C C89521 Scarf Sign Scarf Sign When testing the newborn infant for neuromuscular maturity, the "scarf sign" test is carried out by drawing the newborn's arm across the chest to the opposite shoulder until resistance is felt.
