    1.) The Doctor's name is Dr Abraham Verghese. He's a General Internist who works at Stanford. He also has a fabulous TED talk on the value of the physical exam. I highly recommend it. 2.) Re: the unprovoked reflex at 4:27 in this video, the gentleman being examined is still a "simulated patient", which means he's been hired to play the part. Consequently, there will be acting. But whether the hammer hit his patellar tendon or not, he's still performing the exam correctly - swinging the hammer correctly, and aiming it at the right spot.

    7 жыл бұрын

    Yes, I think that might have been the case. Even though these contractions are primarily involuntary, they provoke some inner instinct that makes us uncomfortable, and we don't want to feel that again. After all, our reflexes exist to protect us, and nobody gets protected if no harm is detected. So the reflexes might automate without physical, but emotional (fear) stimuli.

    One thing of note. A doctor must be proficient in being able to elicit reflexes. It is never appropriate to say I'm no good at it, I just can't get them, and so forth. A doctor must be able to see the reflexes in all patients other than those who simply do not have those reflexes for one reason or another.

    I agree. I had a Doctor do that with me on two different occations when i had a stroke this year at 32 saying oh i am not good at the reflexes or i do not have a hammer i am not good at them anyway i can just slap and see if we get anything!! With a stroke !! In neurology ! Can you imagine ! I am a senior nurse and perform them better ! I am still shocked about this.

    how do you know the movement itself is not coming from the strike and not a reflex? its clear on some its a reflex but on others the reflex looks like it was the movement caused by the strike and not a reflex??

    My girlfriend was born without her 1st cervical vertebrae. She was misdiagnosed and had a unnecessary brain surgery and they opted to remove her second and third cervical vertebrae because of chiari malformation and now she is in major pain so if anyone out there has any solution at at all other than pain killers I'd be greatly appreciative. I'm scheduling a kinesiologist appointment here in the near future but I'm just trying to get her out of pain. Thank you kindly
