Tendon reflex disappears

Deep reflection is a reflection caused by stimulating tendons and periosteal receptors. It is often called tendon reflex. With normal suprathreshold stimulation, the tendon reflexes that should occur cannot be induced. It usually indicates that the reflex arc is blocked. In addition to temporary disappearance, it usually indicates organic disease.
