  1. Deep tendon reflexes (DTR) - score range; normal
    • 0 = absent response
    • 1+ = DEC response (Tone change; No visible movement)
    • 2+ = NORMAL
    • 3+ = exaggerated (Full movement of extremities)
    • 4+ = hyperactive (Obligatory & sustained movement; Lasting > 30 sec)
  2. DTR jaw reflex - level
    Trigeminal CN V
  3. DTR biceps - level
    C5
  4. DTR triceps - level
    C7
  5. DTR brachioradialis - level
    C6
  6. DTR hamstrings - heel
    L5-S3
  7. DTR quadriceps (knee jerk) - level
    L2-L4
  8. DTR achilles (ankle jerk) - level
    S1-S2
  9. Superficial cutaneous reflexes - 4
    • Plantar reflex
    • (+) Babinski
    • Abdominal reflex
    • Cremasteric reflex
  10. Plantar reflex - innervation - level & nn
    • S1-2
    • Tibial nn
  11. Plantar reflex - action + reaction
    • Stroking of lateral foot from calcareous to base of 5th MTT & medially across MTT heads
    • Normal = PF of toes
  12. (+) Babinski - action + reaction
    • Stroking of lateral foot from calcareous to base of 5th MTT & medially across MTT heads
    • Abnormal = DF of big toe + fanning (ABD) of other toes
  13. Abdominal reflex - innervation
    T6-L1
  14. Abdominal reflex - action + reaction
    • Lateral to medial scratching of skin (toward umbilicus) in each of 4 quadrants
    • Normal = Deviation of umbilicus toward stimulus
  15. Cremasteric reflex - innervation
    L1-L2
  16. Cremasteric reflex - action + reaction
    • Stroking of skin of proximal/medial thigh
    • Normal = elevation of testicle
  17. Primitive/Spinal reflexes - 4
    • Flexor withdrawal
    • Crossed extension reflex
    • Traction
    • Grasp
  18. Primitive/Spinal reflexes - present in who? - 2
    • Developmentally in normal infants
    • Some pts w/brain injury
  19. Flexor withdrawal - action + reaction
    • Noxious stimulus to sole of foot
    • Toe Extension
    • Ankle DF
    • Flexion of entire LE
  20. Crossed extension reflex - action + reaction
    • Noxious stimulus to sole of foot
    • Flexion of stimulated leg + extension/ADD of opposite leg
  21. Traction reflex - action + reaction
    • Grasping forearm & pulling
    • Total flexion response of UE
  22. Grasp reflex - action + reaction
    • Maintain P to palm of hand(palmar grasp) or ball of foot (plantar grasp)
    • Maintained flexion of finger or toes
