We utilize the deep tendon reflex test for the evaluation of central nervous system disease as part of physical therapy. Deep tendon reflexes are affected by the Ia fibers of the same as well as other muscles, Renshaw cells, and the upper central nervous system. In this paper, we confirm the neurophysiological significance of the deep tendon reflex and describe devices for performing the reflex test.
