A collection of clips on Pyramidal Reflex Testing on Neurological Physical Examination, including Babinksi and Babinski reflex testing equivalents #Babinski - Plantar toe reflex - Move an object along the lateral aspect of the sole. #Bing - Pinprick-toe reflex - Make multiple light pinpricks on the dorsolateral surface of the foot elicits plantar toe response. #Chaddock - Move an object along the lateral side of the foot elicits plantar toe response. #Cornell - Scratching along the inner side of the extensor hallucis longus tendon elicits an extensor plantar reflex. #Oppenheim - Shin-toe reflex - Press your knuckles on the patient's shin and move them down elicits plantar toe response. #Rossolimo - Percussion of the tips of the toes causes an exaggerated flexion of the toes. #Gonda - Toe-pull reflex - Pull the fourth toe outward and downward for a brief time and release elicits plantar toe response. #Gordon - Calf-toe reflex - Squeeze the calf muscles momentarily eliciting a plantar toe response. #Schaeffer - Achilles-toe reflex - Squeeze hard on the Achilles tendon eliciting a plantar toe response. #Stransky - Vigorous abduction followed by the sudden release of the little toe causes an extensor plantar reflex. #Throckmorton - Pressure over the dorsal side of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe elicits a plantar reflex. Hand / Finger Reflexes: #Hoffmann - Holding the middle finger and flicking the fingernail downward, allowing the middle finger to flick upward reflexively. #Tromner - Flexion of the thumb and index finger in response to tapping or flicking the volar surface of the distal phalanx of the middle finger
