MCQs on "Muscle Stretch Reflexes" Tendon Stretching
MCQs on Deep Tendon Reflexes
When I was an undergraduate student, I always felt intimated by the post graduates who roam around with a hammer and keep knocking at the knees and elbows of patients. I used to wonder at the ease with which they elicited reflexes. It was effortless for most of them. Then I realized that there has to be a particular pattern to elicit these and one has to be thorough with the anatomy of these muscles.
This article is bout deep tendon reflexes; and how you can elicit them. Please read standard text books before starting to answer.
