Westphal Sign
-absence of any DTR, especially patellar
Jendrassik maneuver aka
aka reinforcement test
-pt hooks hands or feet together and pulls on the clenched hands or feet at the moment the reflex is performed
Oxford/ Van Allens Scale
1- evidence of contraction 2- motion gravity neutral, ev of contr 3- motion against gravity, 2,1 4- resistance, 3,2,1 5- joint lock, 4,3,2,1
Wexler Reflex Chart
0-no response
1- slightly diminished, hypoactive
2- normal
3- slightly increased, possible pathology
4- highly increased response, hyperactive
5- high respose, sustained clonus
decreased reflex indicates?
increased reflex indicates?
- lower motor neuron lesion
- upper motor lesion
