Reflex testing apparatuses and methods are provided. The apparatuses can be used to elicit deep tendon reflex responses from patients (animals and/or humans). In some embodiments, a mechanism on the hand-held apparatus can allow a user to adjust an impulse in which the apparatus produces and a source of potential energy can be used to produce a desired impulse. The ability to control the impulse produced by the apparatus, or provided by the method, can provide the user with an ability to determine hypo-, normo-, or hyper-reflexic physiologic states of patients with an increased degree of consistency. |
