When a doctor taps the Achilles tendon, it tests the reflex response of the ankle, specifically the Achilles reflex. This action stimulates the sensory nerves, prompting a quick contraction of the calf muscles and causing the foot to flex downward. A normal response indicates intact connections in the nervous system, while an absent or abnormal response may suggest underlying neurological or muscular issues. This test is commonly performed during a physical examination to assess nerve function.
