Reflexometer

Reflexometers are instruments that measure reflexes, i.e. the speed at which an impulse returns to the brain from the body. Reflexes can be used to study various diseases such as paralysis, cerebral palsy and other neurological diseases.

Reflexometry belongs to the field of physiology and can be performed in both animals and humans. This is a simple and reliable research method that does not require special training or equipment. It can be used in educational institutions, clinical laboratory research and rehabilitation institutions.

There are many ways to measure reflexes, but reflexometric devices usually measure the speed of time between the application of a signal to the skin and the response muscle contraction. This parameter is used to assess the state of the peripheral nervous system and brain centers.

Examples of reflexometry studies include measuring plantar and knee reflexes using various instruments that measure the timing of these responses. You can also measure the level of the sweat reflex, flexion and extension of the arm
