Babinski Without Babinski: Chaddock’s vs Oppenheim’s Sign Two Babinski equivalents demonstrated side-by-side. 🔍 Chaddock’s sign: Stroking around the lateral malleolus produces extension of the great toe. 🔍 Oppenheim’s sign: Firm downward stroke along the medial tibia causes great toe dorsiflexion. 🧠 Answer: Both signs indicate an upper motor neuron lesion of the lower limbs and are especially helpful when the classic Babinski response is absent or unclear. #Neurology #ClinicalExamination #UMN
