Where did the name Achilles tendon come from?
Achilles the Greek warrior was shot in the ankle with an arrow and bled to death. The legend was that his goddess mother had, when he was a baby, dipped him in the Styx River to make him immune from death, however by holding him by the back of the ankle, that part was not dipped, and so that was his 'Achilles heel' which crafty Paris took advantage of with his arrow rather than a face to face fight which he was sure to lose. Hence the tendon has come into popular expressions as the Achilles tendon and the expression Achilles heel for someone's weakness.Did you see the movie "Troy"? Keep your eye on Brad Pitt's character and how he dies.The Achilles tendon is part of the heel. In Homer's the Illiad, Achilles is a Greek hero who, as a result of being dipped in the river Styx as an infant by his mother, was invincible and could only be harmed by striking his heel. At one point in the Trojan War, Paris lodges an arrow there, and Achilles is slain. The fact that it was his heel is the root of the name Achilles tendon, and the fact that that was his weakness is the root of the phrase "Achilles heel".it got its name because Achilles the Greek warrior had an arrow go through his. This disabled him and the tendon has been given his name.

How do you use a reflex hammer?
The reflex hammer is used to check a person's reflex reponses. It is intended for testing tendon reflexes by striking the tendons. The reflex hammer is held by the handle, particularly close to the end oposite the head, with the head resting on the tendon which you intend to test. Make sure that the head is correctly lined up relative to the tendon. The hammer should be held against the tendon for some time such that the person being tested does not know when to expect the reflex. The hammer is now swung back and "bounced" off the tendon. It is important to make sure the hammer has a great velocity at the moment of impact (but don't use too much force to avoid hurting the tendon) and that it bounces off the tendon, rather than staying in contact with it. The action should be very brisk. It is usually completed in about a second.
