Standardized Assessments
Medical hammers are designed to meet specific
standards, ensuring consistency and reliability
in reflex testing. They help healthcare
providers conduct standardized assessments,
making it easier to compare results across
different patients and track changes over time.
3
Reflex testing
The primary function of a medical hammer is to
assess reflexes in patients. By tapping specific
areas of the body, such as the knees, elbows, or
tendons, healthcare professionals can elicit
reflex responses and evaluate the integrity of
the nervous system.
4
Diagnostic Aid
  • Medical hammers serve as diagnostic aids for
    healthcare professionals. By observing and
    interpreting the reflex responses, they can make
    informed decisions about a patient's
    neurological health. Abnormal reflexes can
    indicate conditions such as nerve damage, spinal
    cord injuries, or certain diseases affecting the
    nervous system.
