What was the effect of mental distraction on your ability to produce the patellar reflex?
It increases the reflex action.
"Because of the complexity of the nervous system and the large number of stimuli constantly impinging on the body, the activity of neural networks in one part of the nervous system often modifies another. This is the case for reflexes, such as the knee jerk.
The magnitude of the knee jerk is greater when the contractile tone in the extensor muscle is higher. Conditions that increase muscle tone, such as mental excitement increase the extent of the knee jerk.
A decrease in mental excitement (sleep, a restful state, etc.) is associated with a decrease in the reflex. The strength of the "tap" required to evoke the reflex is higher after physical or mental work. The knee jerk may be reinforced by a second stimulus, such as a loud noise when the noise is appropriately timed with respect to the tapping of the tendon."

Does the patella reflex persist after total knee replacement?
The paper of Jamieson et al. on this subject concludes the following: There is no plausible reason that TKA should affect the patellar tendon reflex. Despite this, in clinical practice TKA is often thought to be responsible for absent patellar tendon reflexes. This study supports the hypothesis that there is no effect of TKA on patellar tendon reflexes. Jamieson R, Flynn J, Love D. Does total knee arthroplasty affect the patellar tendon reflex? AMJ 2010, 1, 2, 183-185. Doi 10.4066/AMJ.2010.196
What is the principle of efficacy?
The principle of efficacy refers to the ability of a drug or treatment to produce a desired effect under specific conditions. It demonstrates the capacity of a medication to achieve its intended therapeutic outcome. In pharmacology, efficacy is distinct from potency, which refers to the strength or concentration of a drug required to produce a particular effect.
