Proprioceptive tendon reflexes are traditionally regarded as tendon stretch reflexes. Eliciting reflexes with a sharp blow on a tendon is, however, not a physiological stimulus. Based on clinical experience in eliciting these reflexes and neurophysiological investigations it is suggested that vibration is a relevant stimulus for tendon jerks.Entities:
