The symptom is the appearance of reflex contractions of the thigh muscles when tapping the skin in the area of ​​the knee joint with a hammer. This symptom indicates damage to the roots and nerve trunks of the lumbosacral spinal cord.

Juster's symptom is most often observed in diseases such as radiculitis, intervertebral hernia, spondylitis. It helps to localize the lesion and make the correct diagnosis.

Thus, Juster's symptom has important diagnostic value in neurology and is still used by doctors when examining patients with suspected neurological diseases.
