Clinical Application
Designed for clinical neurological assessment, this percussion hammer is used to elicit deep tendon and superficial reflexes, evaluate muscle tone and spinal segmental integrity, and assist in bedside localization of peripheral and central nervous system lesions. It is commonly used by neurologists, primary care physicians, emergency clinicians, physiatrists, and physical therapists for routine neurological screening and follow-up examinations.
Design & Configuration
The 24 cm overall length provides a balance between leverage and fine control, allowing the examiner to deliver controlled percussive impulses at varied force levels. A single, resilient striking surface permits reproducible contact with tendons and bony prominences while minimizing patient discomfort. The slim, handheld form supports single‑handed operation and rapid, repeated testing during focused neurologic exams.
