Components of plantar reflex. 1st fanning of toes, 2nd plantar flexion of great toe, 3rd plantar flexion of ankle, 4th flexion at knee, 5th flexion and abduction at hip. So if toes r amputed u can check other components.. But if High amputation is done.. then its difficult to access and test the plantar reflex. Well there r many techniques to check plantar reflexes, but most commonly used one is to stroke the foot
