In a university department of neurology two or three physicians judged the biceps, triceps, knee, and ankle tendon reflexes in two groups of 50 patients using either scale. The interobserver agreement was assessed by meansof 魏 statistics. The agreement among doctors was never better than"fair"...
The physical properties of the stimulating coil can also influence the degree of neural excitation. Specifically, circular coils activate a larger area of the motor cortex, while figure-of-eight coils generate more focal magnetic fields and thereby activate a smaller area of the motor cortex [2,7...

He tests passive and active range of motion. Then, he assesses muscle strength and deep tendon reflexes (DTRs). Additionally, he checks the patient's gait, posture and cerebellar function (as evidenced by balance, coordination, and accuracy of movements). Moving in a head-to-toe fashion, ...

Pictures were also taken at the time of EMG exams. Neurologic exam was performed by the time of EMG test as a routine pediatric assessment of development, gross and fine movements, gait, tendon reflexes and functional assessment of cranial nerves by observing eye movements, smiling, chewing, ...
The results of this study showed that deep tendon reflexes can be effectively measured quantitatively. Reflex latency (RL) and Total reflex response time (TRT) of knee jerk were significantly correlated with the Weight .doi:10.1016/j.orthtr.2020.04.010Kareem Shaik...
