The Babinski Reflex, also known as the Plantar Reflex, is a physical reflex shown when the bottom of the foot is stimulated by having a blunt instrument, i.e. tongue depressor, run across it.
The familiar knee-jerk reflex is an example; this reflex tests the integrity of the spinal cord in the lower back region. Another type of reflex test is called the Babinski test, which involves gently stroking the sole of the foot to assess proper development of the spine and cerebral cortex.
