Editing Reflex (section)

==Grading==
{{Unreferenced section|date=April 2023}}
In [[medicine]], reflexes are often used to assess the health of the [[nervous system]].  [[physician|Doctors]] will typically grade the activity of a reflex on a scale from 0 to 4.  While 2+ is considered normal, some healthy individuals are hypo-reflexive and register all reflexes at 1+, while others are hyper-reflexive and register all reflexes at 3+.

{|class="wikitable"
! Grade !! Description
|-
| 0 || Absent ("mute")
|-
| 1+ or + || Hypoactive
|-
| 2+ or ++ || "Normal"
|-
| 3+ or +++ || Hyperactive ''without'' [[clonus]], with spread to adjacent muscle groups
|-
| 4+ or ++++ || Hyperactive ''with'' [[clonus]]
|}
Depending on where you are, another way of grading is from –4 (absent) to +4 (clonus), where 0 is "normal".
