You know say answer lor.... we learn together.Originally posted by alfagal:nahz..leave it to the rest... -
ok lar... but it's generally not the answer... u know such hammering can also be done elsewhere, in the elbow, at the back of the elbow, in the ankle joint, in the forearms (near the wrist). They have to find a specific structure, and it's not ligament... forgotten my anatomy of the knee slightly... but i think it's specifically somethine else and not ligament...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:No meh, this picture says so leh.... -
Then I don't know liao, below the knee cap is tibia, and we don't hit there.Originally posted by renorenal:ok lar... but it's generally not the answer... u know such hammering can also be done elsewhere, in the elbow, at the back of the elbow, in the ankle joint, in the forearms (near the wrist).

what? can hit the petalla?Originally posted by renorenal:ligament? noperz... this one can easily find from google... just type knee reflex hammer or something like that... and poof u get your answer... -
deep tendon lerrr... there are many places where you elicit this reflex, the biceps, the triceps, the supinator (the one near the wrist, which when tapped allows you to turn ur palm from upwards facing u to downwards), the knee of course, the jaw (the lower part) and the ankle (the achilles tendon)...Originally posted by hisoka:what? can hit the petalla? -

Wah, you think can meh? Unless the person got some brain problems or spinal cord problems, will they only have exaggerated reflexes in the first place... otherwise, it's quite normal... the easiest to do is the knee reflex... feel the hard bone which can move around, that is your patella... u have to sit straight up and hang your leg over the couch, let it move freely (the examination bed in the clinic as you may have seen)... u need to relax... then locate the bone, and the tendon is immediately below the patella bone... hit it gently and you will see the reflex...Originally posted by hisoka:haha can teach me? then i can make pple slap or kick others
Another way is to sit on a chair and cross one leg above the other tightly. Try to keep it as parallel as possible, both the legs in position... relax and repeat the procedure... -
For pediatric cases, we often use our fingers rather than the hammer (although they may vary in size and the smallest one is available), it's easier to use the fingers... can elicit it very easily... coz their tendon is so small...

The bone question, I wonder if it is our toes.
