Henneberg reflex

**The Gennenberg reflex** is an unconditioned reflex that causes the toes to flex (plantar flexion) when struck quickly or lightly to the back of the shin. This reflex occurs when you flex your leg or foot. The study revealed that it is congenital and is present in all people, regardless of age. The reflex arc is activated in the spinal cord under the influence of impulses from the dorsal horns. The essence of this reflex lies in a person’s reaction to pain. It helps to increase pain sensitivity, due to which, when pain is inflicted on the patient, the patient flexes the foot or foot and can also stand up.

During the research, it was found that this reflex is of an unconditional nature, since its loss indicates a pathology of the nervous system. Reflex
