What is a normal reflex?
Deep tendon reflexes are normal if they are 1+, 2+, or 3+ unless they are asymmetric or there is a dramatic difference between the arms and the legs.

Deep tendon reflexes are normal if they are 1+, 2+, or 3+ unless they are asymmetric or there is a dramatic difference between the arms and the legs. Reflexes rated as 0, 4+, or 5+ are usually considered abnormal.Click to see full answer. Also asked, what are normal reflex scores?By convention the deep tendon reflexes are graded as follows: 0 = no response; always abnormal. 1+ = a slight but definitely present response; may or may not be normal. 2+ = a brisk response; normal.Furthermore, what are examples of reflexes? A few examples of reflex action are: When light acts as a stimulus, the pupil of the eye changes in size. Sudden jerky withdrawal of hand or leg when pricked by a pin. Coughing or sneezing, because of irritants in the nasal passages. Knees jerk in response to a blow or someone stamping the leg. Similarly one may ask, what does it mean to have good reflexes? Good instincts. Reflexes are an action of both the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system. If they are sympathetically dominant (too much adrenaline) – they may have “enhanced” reflexes OR they may be so nervous that they drop things or are too fidgety.Can brisk reflexes be normal?A normal response means your neurons respond to the tap from a reflex hammer with enough contraction (about two times). 3: brisk reflexes (more hyper reflexive than normal) 2: normal response. 1: little response (hypo reflexive)
