Typically, a reflex is tested a few times to ensure accuracy in the assessment. The number of tests can vary depending on the specific reflex being evaluated and the individual's response.

An ana reflex profile test is used to detect antibodies produced by the immune system that mistakenly target the body's own tissues. This test is commonly used to help diagnose autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
An abnormal reflex test may suggest nervous system dysfunction, such as nerve damage or spinal cord injury. It could also indicate a neurological condition affecting the reflex pathways. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is needed to determine the specific cause and appropriate treatment.
If the big toe does not extend on a reflex test, it may indicate a problem with the nervous system, specifically a condition called Babinski reflex. This abnormal response can be a sign of neurological issues, such as damage to the brain or spinal cord. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended to determine the underlying cause.
The corneal reflex will not test for injuries to the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) as it primarily assesses the integrity of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve.

The instrument used by a doctor to test knee reflex is a reflex hammer. The doctor will tap the patellar tendon just below the kneecap with the reflex hammer to elicit a reflex response, which helps assess the function of the nerves and spinal cord.
Yes, "Achilles reflex" should be capitalized as it refers to a proper noun, which is the name of a specific medical reflex test.
Yes
The proper name for the hammer a doctor uses to test your reflex is just "reflex hammer". It is a medical instrument used by physicians to test deep tendon reflexes and is an important part of a neurological physical examination.
We (not mentioning the exact names) have done a test on who has the faster reflexes and we have come up with an answer. We tested their reflex times by asking 10 students and 10 adults to turn on and off a specific timer as fast as they could. The slower the reflex time ( i.e.- 45) the slower the reflex. The faster the reflex time (19) the faster the reflex. When we tested the adults ( surprisingly) they had MUCH faster reflex times than the kids. Even though you'd think the opposite. The age categories were under 15 (kids) and over 15 (adults) so there's the proof.
A lavender top tube is typically used for collecting a sample for an ANA with reflex test.
