What else can I help you with?
What movement would you expect to occur during the Achilles reflex?
During the Achilles reflex test, you would expect to see plantar flexion of the foot, where the foot points downwards, in response to tapping the Achilles tendon. This reflex is a protective mechanism that helps maintain posture and balance in the lower extremities.
The triceps surae insert in common into the tendon?
Calcaneal (Achilles) Tendon
What is effector muscle for calcaneal reflex action?
The effector muscle for the calcaneal reflex (also known as the Achilles reflex) is the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. When the Achilles tendon is tapped, it causes a contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle, resulting in plantar flexion of the foot.
Is the Achilles tendon in the knee heel or toe?

What is a archilles tendon?

What level of the spinal cord does the Achilles reflex test?
The Achilles reflex is also known as the ankle-jerk reflex. it is controlled by the S1 segment of the spinal chord and occurs when the Achilles tendon is struck with a rubber hammer.
Achilles tendon when hit with a refelx hammer?
Hitting the Achilles tendon with a reflex hammer can elicit a normal reflex called the Achilles reflex or ankle jerk. This test assesses the integrity of the S1 and S2 nerve roots. A brisk contraction of the calf muscles and a slight plantar flexion of the foot is the normal response.
The triceps surae insert in common into the tendon?
Calcaneal (Achilles) Tendon
How would you assess the calcaneal reflex?
you can observe a calcaneal reflex by striking the calcaneal tendon with the blunt side of a rubber hammer the calcaneal tendon is right above the heal on the backside of the foot, you can feel it easily
What is effector muscle for calcaneal reflex action?
The effector muscle for the calcaneal reflex (also known as the Achilles reflex) is the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. When the Achilles tendon is tapped, it causes a contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle, resulting in plantar flexion of the foot.
What is the receptor of the Achilles reflex?
Hit tendon nociceptors in tendo-achilles. It goes to the CNS by sciatic nerve, then it goes to interneurons in spinal cords S1-S2. Then it goes to Alfa motor n, tibial nerve from sciatic nerve to lead to the gastrocnemius muscle.
The achilles tendon is in the knee or heel?
The Achilles tendon is in the Heel by Ahmed
Is the Achilles tendon in the heel knee or toe?

Where is the Achilles tendo located?
