The brachioradialis reflex (also known as supinator reflex [1]) is observed during a neurological exam by striking the brachioradialis tendon (at its insertion at the base of the wrist into the radial styloid process (radial side of wrist around 4 inches proximal to base of thumb)) directly with a reflex hammer when the patient's arm is relaxing.
Biceps reflex. Biceps reflex is a deep tendon reflex (DTR) test (also known as a muscle-stretch reflex test) [1] that examines the function of the C5 reflex arc and the C6 reflex arc. [2] The test is performed by using a tendon hammer to quickly depress the biceps brachii tendon [3] as it passes through the cubital fossa.
Pain stimulus is a technique used by medical personnel for assessing the consciousness level of a person who is not responding to normal interaction, voice commands or gentle physical stimuli (such as shaking of the shoulders). [1] It forms one part of a number of neurological assessments, including the first aid based AVPU scale and the more ...
38485. Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The brachioradialis is a muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow. [1][2] It is also capable of both pronation and supination, depending on the position of the forearm. [2] It is attached to the distal styloid process of the radius by way of the brachioradialis tendon, and ...
v. t. e. The accessory nerve, also known as the eleventh cranial nerve, cranial nerve XI, or simply CN XI, is a cranial nerve that supplies the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles. It is classified as the eleventh of twelve pairs of cranial nerves because part of it was formerly believed to originate in the brain.
Hoffmann's reflex (Hoffmann's sign, sometimes simply Hoffmann's, or finger flexor reflex) [1] is a neurological examination finding elicited by a reflex test which can help verify the presence or absence of issues arising from the corticospinal tract. It is named after neurologist Johann Hoffmann. [2] Usually considered a pathological reflex in ...
The ulnar nerve originates from the C8-T1 nerve roots (and occasionally carries C7 fibers which arise from the lateral cord), [5] [6] which then form part of the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and descends medial to the brachial artery, up until the insertion point of coracobrachialis muscle (middle 5 cm over the medial border of the humerus).
Peripheral neuropathy, Radiculopathy, Plexopathy. Tinel's sign (also Hoffmann-Tinel sign) is a way to detect irritated nerves. It is performed by lightly tapping (percussing) over the nerve to elicit a sensation of tingling or "pins and needles" in the distribution of the nerve. [1][2] Percussion is usually performed moving distal to proximal. [2]
