How to Use a Reflex Hammer

Description

The reflex hammer is an important diagnostic tool used by physicians to
test deep tendon reflexes, a crucial part of the neurological examination.
This assessment helps evaluate the condition of the peripheral and central
nervous systems.

Although the reflex hammer is a simple device—typically combining a rubber
head with a sturdy steel handle—its clinical importance is significant.
Reflex testing plays a key role in identifying neurological abnormalities
and monitoring nerve function.
