Deep tendon reflex.

Description
A percussion hammer with a rounded rubber end is used to tap just below the patella on the combined tendons of the quadriceps femoris muscle group. A normal response is a sudden involuntary contraction of the muscles that briskly extends the lower leg. The response in both legs is tested and compared.
