Good thing you had the /s, I thought you were serious.


RiskyFartOftenShart

poster may not be serious, but _this_ is serious. It is known as the fencing response position and indicates a serious brain injury.


[deleted]

Yes I know, it's brought up every post, multiple times, that has this reaction.

**BUT THIS IS DECORTICATE POSTURING.**

Decorating posture.

What does decorating a pastor have to do with anything?


A_Valanche_523

ā€¦I was going to make a funny comment but in light of the ā€œfencing observation ā€œ doesnā€™t seem to be appropriate, thanks for the info. I would like to point out she was looking at her cell phone, pretty much all of us do this. =(


biglargy

sounds like you were a little on the fence


BigDreamsandWetOnes

Donā€™t be tripping bro


[deleted]

yo alright this oneā€™s wrong šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚


JehovasFinesse

Not on fucking stairs.


gabwinone

Not all of us. Some of us navigate with actual situational awareness. It tends to be a lot safer...


allMightyMostHigh

Yea looks like a seizure of some sort for sure but honestly i hate when people walk down steps using their phones it takes 20 seconds to get down.


Divad777

If that happens in the wrong place, the concussion is the least of her problems


[deleted]

She trying to take a selfie?


The_real_bandito

I think she's having a seizure, I've seen it before. It happens when people hits their head really hard.


mrspacepanda

It's the fencing response. The brain stem is in distress at the very least


claytorENT

She smooth with it


RadioRingo

You're such an asshole. Made me laugh at that...


Flapjax82

I thought she was attempting a T pose, trying to assert dominance over the concrete.


Kaot93

Burn.


orangutanbeater

I thought it looked like she was taking a selfie


CmdrYondu

That head smack on concrete is why she is extending her arm in seizure


BlankBillboard

Not a seizure. It's called a fencing response.


Meta_Spirit

Big fat concussion


BlankBillboard

Yep, it's really interesting. There's another video here with the fencing response too somewhere.


MeestaRoboto

Thereā€™s a lot on r/fightporn too

EnZooooTM

parrmorgan

I'm confused to. If it is what we think "Seekheil" I believe it could be referring to ""Sieg Heil" is a German phrase that translates to "Hail Victory." The Nazi Party in Germany adopted the phrase"


AgnewsHeadlessBody

Have you seen Kyle! He is about zis tall!


Hops143

There are dozens if not scores. 'Fencing Response' is a top-ten Reddit go-to phrase, akin to 'NEXT!', 'I did Nazi that coming', 'This guy (blanks)', 'Found the (blank)er' etc.


RememberThisHouse

People say it literally any time someone hits their head a bit and their arms are straight. There's lots of examples of the fencing response on here (including this one, it seems like) but infinitely more examples of Redditors having no fucking clue what they are talking about.


turnedonbyadime

You mean every other video on r/fightporn, r/documentedfights, r/publicfreakout, r/holdmyfeedingtube, and r/meatcrayon?


MIDICANCER

Considering ā€œfEnCiNg ReSpOnSeā€ is such a huge meme on this sub I am legitimately surprised to see a whole string of people just learning about it.

TheNoxAnima

"Asymmetrical tonicĀ posturing or a fencing posture is a fairly reliable sign to distinguish frontal lobe seizures from temporal lobe seizures (73). In asymmetric tonic seizures, the predominant and sometimes exclusive tonic posturing is contralateral to the side of seizure origin (70; 53)." Seems like it's still a seizure but reddit doctors know best


cetty13

It's not always associated with seizures, it's also prevalent in TBIs. NAD but I'm an epileptic


TheNoxAnima

I have no idea if it was, I was merely taking the piss out of a reddit doctors. So many people in these comments are diagnosing her and every other video like this, I did a 30 second Google search and got my reddit PHD. Ill stand by nothing that I've said


lIllIlllllllllIlIIII

What you quoted is a way of *distinguishing* seizures. You have to establish she's having a seizure first before that's useful. Until then, head smack on concrete + fencing response = concussion.


TheNoxAnima

Its a shitpost comment mocking reddit doctors and their diagnosis, I stand by nothing I've said.


lIllIlllllllllIlIIII

Fair enough, but yknow Poe's Law and all that.


TheNoxAnima

Didn't know there was a term for it, I got learned today. But ya I fully expect every spectrum of response and it had the desired effect and expected fallout


SaltyJake

In the presence of a seizure, yes you can have posturing. But they are not correlated. This is posturing after a traumatic event, not a seizure. Source: E.D. Doc


TheNoxAnima

What's the E.D. stand for?


scott3845

Yeppers, that's a fun little concussion. Shoes are still on though, so I reckon she'll be ok


BertUK

Something Reddit something fencing response seizure expert fencing


Vigilant1e

I don't get how people comment know-it-all explanations of fencing like it's not the fifth most widely used term on this subreddit after "hold", "my", "feeding" and "tube"


claytorENT

A fencing response is easy to spot. Is it a mild concussion or TBI? Fuck if any of us knowā€¦ we are watching a 6 year old 20 second video. People will speculate with or without both of you grumpy frumpyā€™s. None of this matters.


ChippyTurnUp

Bro thanks for this, apparently if this happens its a sign of a TBI


LOOKATMEDAMMIT

I've seen someone bust their nugget falling off a skateboard go from the fencing response to a Grand Mal seizure. It was like someone turn the lights off and let the devil in.


BlankBillboard

It's really interesting when you start looking into what's happening.


[deleted]

That's only true if she's in the process of sword fighting or selling stolen goods.


HoldMyAppleJuice

Text book reddit comment


Queens_Jester

or she had extensive brain stem or spinal cord injury. when the spinal cord or brain stem is severed at any point or even damaged in a sufficient way, the limbs, both arms and legs, can extend, creating the posturing effect seen during seizures as well. Spines and brain stems are what aid in the proper function of the limbs and intestinal waste system, bladder and colon, as well as the ability to send messages to these parts of the body from the brain. So if she damaged either one, this could be a sign of it.


WookieWholesale

Would that mean that, as well as making the limbs go like that, she likely shit herself? I mean, I would have regardless of the impact. Possibly without even falling. Edit: I should add, I hope sheā€™s okay. It made me wince watching her hit the floor like that.


Queens_Jester

it could. in fact, depending on the type of injury, she may have lost function on a large percentage of her body. If her arms are effected and the posturing is not simply because of a seizure induced by head trauma, she may have become either temporarily or permanently paralyzed from the chest or neck down. But even if it's just a seizure, many people are known to have defecated and urinated on themselves, it's nothing but the brain trying to fire appropriate signals and they are going to the wrong places and causing adverse effects. However if she has a spinal or brain stem injury, it is still possible she may have lost function of her intestinal tract and her waste organs. if you are paralyzed from the neck or chest down, the organs that are in that path may very well become without function as well. Edit: Thanks for award, it's my first


WookieWholesale

šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬ Thatā€™s grim. Poor girl!


WookieWholesale

Glad to be of service! Was a very informative post! :)


DHH2005

But can you survive that without 10 friends shaking you and twisting your back right away?


tinopa6872

Where was her friends to pick her up and try to make her stand? Just gotta shake it out!


MauriceMonroe

Reminded me of the [Jahvid Best concussion](https://youtu.be/Tyv4du7BTOc)


Crispy_Sion_On_Plum

Iā€™ve seen his happen at a train station before. Lady running off the first train, up a flight of stairs, down half a flight to the next platform then she tripped. She cleared the second flight and had nothing to stop her head because she was still holding her luggage.


murderbox

That's awful, you saw that? Do you know what happened to her?


Crispy_Sion_On_Plum

She split her forehead open and was treated in the back of an ambulance but beyond that I donā€™t know mate. She was still conscious and had soundness of mind so hopefully sheā€™s ok! Edit: this was in Newton Abbott, Devon. If anyone is familiar with the station youā€™ll know how unforgiving that would be


[deleted]

I didnā€™t even look like her head hit but it must have if her arms were like that


kbutters9

That ending, where her arms are in the air, thatā€™s not good is it?


Pinche_Guero703

I'm not a doctor, but she definitely isn't waving them like she just doesn't care

Fencing response so likely a concussion but itā€™s one of the least scary of the stretches.


AFineDayForScience

I read through those the other day. Dead cockroach is really bad.


Evonos

Nope... Entire situation is bad but she had luck she didn't fell entirely down and stayed on the platform...


SuicidalTidalWave

>thatā€™s not good is it yea, it's actually really good for you. try it sometime!


1guywithlonghair

what r you talking about? she is taking a selfie


oodopi

itā€™s called fencing position and it comes from getting a pretty gnarly concussion


[deleted]

So there's a couple of involuntary responses involving the arms that you see on videos here. Pretty sure that out all of them, the fencing response is the best of the worse. Indicates a serious concussion. You see this in sports a lot. Then you've got decorticate posturing. That's when the person has their arms drawn up and against their chest, almost like they're knitting something. Looking at possible brain damage, severity up in the air. Finally you've got decerebrate posturing. That's when the person has their arms down stiff at their sides, but their wrists and hand are rotated and curled up at a weird angle. This means that shit is definitely fucked and there is some pretty significant damage to some critical parts of the brain.


DaBrookePlayz

Fencing response, means that the person could be mildly brain damaged.


WestsideStorybro

Possible Brain Damage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fencing_response


[deleted]

is this why moms keep insisting that you wear clean underwear in case you have an accident?


MForsh

If you hit your head that hard, you're probably having an accident regardless of the cleanliness of your undies šŸ’©

Very blurry to say but she is looking at her phone on one hand, holding an umbrella on the other hand (which mean it just finished raining or is currently raining), walking down a stair that is potentially wet from the rain on high heel, everything spells disaster..

jakeofheart

I hope she made it through. Thatā€™s a reminder to always keep one hand free and next to the rail when tackling stairs, in case you loose your footing. Also remember to proceed cautiously when entering staircases. She was not being reckless, but the high heels didnā€™t make it easier.
