Reflex assessment

Reflex assessment involves testing the body's automatic responses to specific stimuli, helping healthcare providers evaluate the health of the nervous system. During the test, a doctor taps on certain areas, like the knee or elbow, and observes how quickly and smoothly muscles react. These responses can indicate if nerves, spinal cord, or brain are functioning normally or if there might be nerve damage or neurological issues. Reflex tests are quick, non-invasive, and provide valuable information about the integrity and health of the nervous system.
