Percussion hammers are used to test deep tendon reflexes. Also known as reflex or neurological hammers, percussion hammers are a key tool in medicine. The Riester percussion hammers allow accurate and effective testing of muscle stretch reflexes, superficial or cutaneous reflexes with the best possible patient comfort. Designed for ease of use the ergonomic handles and the high grade stainless steel construction means reliability and stability are a key aspect of Riester’s hammer portfolio. The percussion hammers come in a variety of shapes, optimised to allow assessment of myotatic reflexes from larger areas such as the knee (Quadricep reflex), bicep (Bicep jerk), Tricep (Tricep jerk) and Brachioradialis (supinator jerk) to smaller areas such as Achilles tendon (ankle jerk). The Riester Taylor (or Tomahawk) percussion reflex hammer for assessing myotatic (often patellar and ankle) and cutaneous reflexes is the classic hammer design, featuring a triangular rubber head and flat stainless-steel handle. Lighter than the other versions it is used for myotatic and plantar responses with less effort and greater patient comfort. The Riester Dejerine percussion reflex hammer for assessing myotatic (often patellar and ankle) reflexes and cutaneous is available with or without a needle to allow the addition of a pinprick test to check two variables: (1) the actual ability to feel a pinprick and (2) the ability to determine the difference between sharp and dull. Manufactured in stainless steel with an ergonomic handle for improved feel and accuracy.
