klanger Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Tap the patellar ligament while the subject performs the Jendrassik's maneuver (the subject clasps his/her hands in front of him/her and, with fingers locked, tries vigorously to pull his/her hands apart). This was taken from some tests that were being done on reflexes and measuring them.

Fluent in Lies Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Yes, I know what its is, but is it purley a distraction to relax the person, or is there a physiological mechanism that it stimulates to heigten the reflex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
