About This Product
The reflex hammer is used in physiology practicals to show how a gentle tap on a tendon produces a reflex muscle response through the reflex arc. Held lightly by the handle, it is tapped on a tendon such as the patellar tendon below the kneecap, and the slight movement of the lower leg is observed. Tapping is repeated only as needed for teaching.
