The reflex exam is fundamental to the neurological exam and important to locating upper versus lower motor neuron lesions. There are five deep tendon reflexes and a number of superficial …

The brachioradialis reflex is a deep tendon reflex involving the C5 and C6 nerve roots through its innervation by the radial nerve. Babinski first introduced the testing of this reflex in 1910. [5]

The reflex should cause slight pronation or supination [1] and slight elbow flexion. Contrary to popular belief, this reflex should not cause wrist extension and/or radial deviation, because the …

Nursing head to toe assessment includes the deep tendon reflex examination of the brachioradialis tendon (C5 to C6) with a reflex hammer.

The brachioradialis reflex is mediated mainly by C6. The triceps reflex is mediated mainly by C7. The video demonstrates elicitation of normal biceps, brachioradialis, and triceps reflexes. It is …

Aug 21, 2025 · To elicit the brachioradialis reflex, the examiner strikes the brachioradialis tendon approximately 2-3 cm above the radial styloid process while the individual’s forearm is relaxed.

In a normal person, when a muscle tendon is tapped briskly, the muscle immediately contracts due to a two-neuron reflex arc involving the spinal or brainstem segment that innervates the …

Nov 2, 2025 · The brachioradialis reflex or C6 Nerve Root Reflex is a deep tendon reflex involving the C5 and C6 nerve roots through its innervation by the radial nerve.

The biceps reflex, also known as the brachioradialis reflex, is a deep tendon reflex that is elicited by tapping the biceps tendon. It is one of the key components of the sensory and motor …

Aug 25, 2025 · The reflex assesses the function of the C5 and C6 spinal nerve roots, which supply the radial nerve that innervates the brachioradialis muscle, helping evaluate the …
