The inverted or paradoxical triceps reflex consists of flexion of the elbow in response to percussion of the triceps tendon. This response appears when the afferent arch of the triceps reflex is injured as in the injuries of the seventh and eighth cervical segments, especially when there is an element of spasticity, as in cervical spondylosis with radiculomyelopathy. Cool this find right ?! Root neurological semiology!
