brisk deep tendon reflexes


Explanation:
Tonic contraction of the muscles in response to a stretching force, due to stimulation of muscle proprioceptors.

By convention the deep tendon reflexes are graded as follows:

0 = no response; always abnormal
1+ = a slight but definitely present response; may or may not be normal
2+ = a brisk response; normal
3+ = a very brisk response; may or may not be normal
4+ = a tap elicits a repeating reflex (clonus); always abnormal

Walker, HK. Deep Tendon Reflexes. Chapter 72. In: Clinical Methods: The History, Physical, and Laboratory Examinations. 3rd edition. Boston: Butterworths; 1990.

Example sentence(s):
  • Neurological examinations may reveal abnormal tones, spasticity, or hypotonicity, and brisk deep tendon reflexes.
  • [...] brisk, deep tendon reflexes; and extensor plantar response bilaterally. [...]
