IV.Muscle Stretch Reflex(Deep)

Jaw reflex

With the patient’s jaw sagging loosely open, the examiner rests a finger across the tip and strikes it a crisp blow

Biceps reflex

The examiner’s thumb places slight tension on the patient’s biseps tendon, the lacetusfibrosus. The examiner strikes his thumbnail a crisp blow

Triceps Reflex

A) Dangle the patient’s forearm over your hand and strike the triceps tendonB) Cradle the patients forearm in your hand and strike the triceps tendon

Brachioradialis Reflex

Cradle the patient’s forearm in one hand, placing the thumb on the radius. The hammer strikes the examiner’s thumbnail rather than the patient’s radius. Don’t whack away on the patient’s unprotected bone. the

Finger Flexion (Tromner’s method)

The examiner supports the patient’s completely relaxed hand and briskly flips the patient’s distal phalanx upward, as though to flip a handful of water high into the air. The patient’s fingers and thumb flex and response to the stretch of the finger flexor muscles.

Finger Flexion (Hoffman’s method)

Page 20: preceptorials1 with review of systems.doc

The examiner depresses the distal phalanx and allows it to flip up. The extensor of the phalanx stretches the flexor muscles, causing the fingers and thumb to flex. This method is only effective with very brisk muscle stretch reflexes.

Quadriceps Femoris Reflex

A) With the patient sitting:The examiner strikes the patellar tendon a crisp blow. By placing a hand on the patient’s knee, the examiner feels and sees the magnitude of the response

B) With the patient supine:

The examiner bends the patient’s leg to place slight tension in the patellar tendon. The blow then will deform the tendon and transmit a stretch to the muscle

Triceps Surae Reflex

A) With the pt. sitting:With relaxed leg, the examiner dorsiflexes the foot to place slight tension on the triceps surae muscle. Try reinforcement if no reflex occurs

B) With the pt. supine:With the knees bent and relaxed, the examiner dorsiflexes the patient’s foot to place a slight tension on the triceps surae muscle. Try reinforcement if no reflex occurs

Toe flexion Reflex (Rossolimo’s sign)

Identical with the finger flexion method. Tapping the ball of the foot elicits toe flexio

V.Skin and muscle (superficial) reflexes

Plantar Reflex

1. Position the patient in a supine position with the limbs relaxed and symmetrically arranged, with the knees straight or slightly flexed and turned.

2. Inform the patient that the procedure might be uncomfortable by saying: “I am going to press your foot gently. If it’s unpleasant, tell me”.

3. Hold the patient’s ankle with one hand to keep the foot in place and control the pressure of the plantar stroke.

4. Place the stimulus object (serrated, broken end of a tongue blade) at the patient’s heel stopping short at the base of the foot.

5. Begin with a very slight pressure or even apply the stroke at the lateral aspect of the foot, (Chaddock’sManeuver) a region less sensitive than the sole.

6. Stroke it slowly along the lateral margin of the foot.

7. If no response or inconstant responses occur the stimulus is probably wrong. Try again and consider the following:

A. Length: Increase length by swinging the stroke across the ball of the foot

B. Velocity

Page 24: preceptorials1 with review of systems.doc

C. Pressure: Increase the pressure but remain short of pain and within the patient’s

Limit of Tolerance

RESULT Eponym Maneuver

extensionflexion

Babinski (Plantar toe reflex)

Move an object along the lateral aspect of the sole.

Chaddock’s Maneuver

Move an object along the lateral side of the foot.

Schaeffer (Achilles-toe reflex)

Squeeze hard on the Achilles tendon.

Oppenheim (Shin-toe reflex)

Press your knuckles on the patient’s shin and move them down.

Gordon (Calf-toe reflex)

Squeeze the calf muscles momentarily.

Bing (Pinprick-toe reflex)

Make multiple light pinpricks on the dorsolateral surface of the

Page 25: preceptorials1 with review of systems.doc

foot.Gonda, Stransky (Toe-pull reflex)

Pull the fourth toe outward and downward for a brief time and release suddenly.

Normal Variations

A. Flexion synergy- some normal person will shoe little or no movement after plantar stimulus and this is called “ mute Sole”. palpate the extensor hallucislongus tendon, if mechanical factors prevent the movement

B. Triple flexion synergy- the withdrawal movement like: 1. Dorsiflexion of the ankle 2. Flexion of the knee 3. Flexion of the knee. These are normal response of a person like stepping on a sharp object.

C. Small toes may fan but it is not a clinically important part of the plantar reflex
