Lower limb reflex anatomy

This isn't about how to test reflexes nor clinical skills training, this is the anatomy underlying myotatic/deep tendon/muscle stretch reflex tests to help you understand the results of testing. We'll talk about the anatomy of the patellar tendon (knee jerk) reflex test, the Achilles tendon (ankle) reflex test and the plantar reflex, which isn't a muscle stretch reflex but is kind of cool and weird and good to talk about.

Hello Mr Sam Webster. My name is Tony Touma and my son Mason Luke is probably your number one fan, I left you a comment here the other day and somehow it disappeared. But to keep it short and simple, my son loves your videos to the point that he memorizes the majority of your lessons, and he quotes you word for word. I have bought him many human anatomy models and learning books and pamphlets, human skull models etc. He is very adept with anatomy, no where near your level yet, but you are more of his her than any movie character. So once again I would like to say thank you for being you from the bottom of me and my sons heart. And if ever you could mention him in a video, it would mean the World to him. He actually dreams of a day when he could meet you so he can show off his anatomy knowledge to you. Thank you for allowing my comment, and I appreciate your time.

Great Video Sam, but everyone knows that The reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting by the park. Also The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark. But most importantly every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark

“It’s all abit eee eeee” brilliant haha. My husband is getting jealous of how much I watch this guy since going back to uni! Why can’t my teachers be like this...

Hello, The Achilles reflex is testing the function of the S1 nerves of the lumbosacral plexus rather than the spinal cord which ends at L1. Thanks

I just found another reflex!! Doing split.. Tapping the ahm.. Junction between hip and femor. All my legs and foot rotate inward (and unbelievable, my split improved instantly .. maybe because that protection system was inhibiting too much). I will re-watch I fall asleep lol lot of interesting arguments . Thanks doc
