The Achilles reflex checks if the S 1 and S 2 nerve roots are intact and could be indicative of sciatic nerve pathology. It is classically delayed in hypothyroidism. This reflex is usually absent in disk herniations at the L 5 âS 1 level.t is also a stretch reflex. These are monosynaptic spinal segmental reflexes. When they are intact, integrity of the following is confirmed: cutaneous innervation, motor supply, and cortical input to the corresponding spinal segment.
From a clinical perspective, reflexes are extremely important. The stretch reflex is most important and is tested routinely. The flexion reflex is seldom tested, except in unconscious patients.Pain pathways usually are checked by testing for conscious sensibility to pin prick (see Chapter 5). Passive limb movement causes a stretch reflex in the muscles being stretched and their reflex contraction resists further movement of the limb. 2  The resistance is velocity sensitive, being greater the faster the limb is moved. 3  Clasp knife reflex.
