Answer to Question 1
D
The optic reflex is a visual sensation that affects posture by helping the person establish spatial relationships to surrounding objects. The antigravity reflex occurs when extensor muscles are stretched beyond a certain point and the stimulation causes a reflex contraction that counteracts the gravitational pull. The labyrinthine sense occurs when sensory organs in the ear activate impulses when the head is turned. Proprioception is the awareness of posture, movement, and changes in equilibrium and the knowledge of position, weight, and resistance of objects in relation to the body. An example of this is walking down the steps without looking at the feet.
Answer to Question 2

Sensory impairment may or may not be present in this client.
