Stretch Reflex Testing

Stretch Reflex Testing is a neurological assessment method that elicits and evaluates involuntary muscle contractions in response to rapid passive stretching, distinguished by its reliance on the monosynaptic reflex arc to measure the integrity and excitability of the neuromuscular system.
