Description

The Taylor Percussion Reflex Hammer is a medical diagnostic instrument used by healthcare practitioners to test deep tendon reflexes and evaluate nervous system health. By lightly striking specific tendons (such as the knee, ankle, or bicep), the hammer prompts an involuntary muscle contraction that helps assess neuromuscular function.
