TR🦵 Testing your reflexes? 🔨 Let’s talk patellar reflexes! In this reel, I’m demonstrating the different grades of the patellar (knee-jerk) reflex, a crucial part of neurological exams.
🔵Understanding these grades helps assess the health of your nervous system. From absent to exaggerated, each response tells a story.
🟢Clinical Significance:
- Absent reflexes (0 or 1+) may indicate peripheral nerve damage or lower motor neuron lesions.
- Normal reflex response is graded +2
- Hyperreflexia (3+ or 4+) may suggest upper motor neuron lesions or central nervous system disorders.
- Knowing the grades helps with neurological assessments.
