Berliner Percussion Hammer 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for eliciting deep tendon and superficial reflexes during neurological and musculoskeletal examinations. The instrument is commonly used by neurologists, physiatrists, orthopedists, perioperative clinicians, and primary care providers to evaluate reflex arcs (eg, biceps, triceps, patellar, and Achilles) and to assist in the bedside assessment of peripheral nerve and spinal cord function.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 20 cm handle provides reach and leverage for controlled, repeatable percussive taps while maintaining a stable grip. The Berliner-style weighted striking head concentrates momentum into a consistent impact, which helps standardize stimulus intensity across examinations. The balance between head and handle geometry supports single-handed use and precise control when eliciting localized reflex responses.
