A

Normal - May use sluggish or brisk

21
Q

Reflex grade 3 (+++)

A

Hyperactive

22
Q

Reflex grade 4 (++++ with transient clonus)

A

Hyperactive with transient clonus

23
Q

Reflex grade 4 (++++ with sustained clonus)

24
Q

Method of Jendrassik

A

When testing the patellar reflexes the patient is asked to hook his fingers and try to pull them apart at the time the reflex is being tested. Reinforcement can be done in a number of ways by distracting the patient while performing the reflex.
