How do you differentiate normal 2 from a brisk/hyperreflexive 3+ through observation. Is it how quick the response is or how high? There are lots of conflicting examples. Thanks.

Does the reflex increase if the knee is hit hard? I did the reflex test on my own knee at home. When I hit slowly, the reflex was slow. It increased when I hit hard. I'm worried it's hyperreflexia. Please answer.

[@ciitaabudu7918]

Is there anything alternative position that you can put patient apart from the sitting up position when checking for the knee reflex test?

[@ClinicalPhysio]

Can be done in supine too 👍🏼

[@victoriapless5036]

When my knee was tested one knee was normal and one was hyper reflexive. The Dr was testing for C5 problems and said I have the beginnings of myelopathy but is this normal with only 1 side?

[@ClinicalPhysio]

Hi Victoria 😊 Classic textbook answer is No, in that Myelopathy would present as double sided. However, I would suggest seeing the Dr again or Different Dr if you are unsure 😊

[@victoriapless5036]
