Great informative video! Lets say you find a hypo or hyper-reflexive response, would this be classed as a red flag since a lesion at the spinal cord is likely the cause?
Hi! It depends on severity and patient progression… If something like a mild hyporeflexive unilateral issue would certainly at the VERY LEAST keep an eye on it, but if concerns about patients symptoms worsening then refer for MRI. Whereas if I was genuinely concerned about hyperreflexive response and worried about a central neural issue e.g. Potential stroke, then urgent referral
Yia sou! Thank you for your message 😊 Yes we have videos of Upper Limb Reflexes and Lower Limb Reflexes which we have already filmed and waiting editing before we release 😊
Please help my left knee ankle has no response my leg keeps going so tight i cant walk crying in agony im 52 and feel 102 i have no quality of life and doctors are doing nothing someone please help 😢😢😢
Very informative video. Couple of questions… 1) What might unilateral hyperreflexia indicate? 2) If someone was to have an upper motor lesion of the upper cervical spine but a left sided lumbar radiculopathy, would that left leg still be hyporeflexic or hyperreflexic?
Great questions! 1) still likely to indicate a CNS problem e.g. contralateral stroke or one sided cord compression for example 2) Great question! I could see it presenting as either - may depend on severity of each of the two problems. Whichever one more severe may be more present
my gosh, as I prepare for my provincial exams, I'm crying with gratitude for your explanations. our college was closed due to covid and thus our program suffered a lot of set backs before my classmates and I could get back on track with our learning. you are a gifted teacher!
Perfect video for a PM&R resident like me. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Is this a sympathetic or parasympathetic response or is that vernacular not appropriate for this response?
I would think of this more simply as just spinal reflexes
Great informative video sir 😊 I am really thankful to you for helping us. ❤️
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great well done sir... Make more videos please. Regarding also pnf and also passive and active insufficiency

Nice explanation....Thx
Thank you!!
Should also include the references
Ok but what do you do lol
We have full videos called Upper Limb Reflex Tests and Lower Limb reflex Tests for you to watch on our RUclips channel!
Can also add a video with all the reflexes? Not only the most common but all of them even the most tricks one please

What if the right knee is hyperflexia 3+ and left knee normal 2+ no walk gait ie clonus ?
