Neurological Reflex Percussion Hammer

Neurological reflex percussion hammer is a tool commonly used by doctors in physical examinations. It is mainly used to evaluate the health of internal organs and check neuromuscular reflexes. The percussion hammer usually consists of a hammer head, a hammer head fixing frame, a hammer rod and a hammer handle. The hammer head is made of PVC to ensure that it will not cause pain or harm to the patient when percussing. Metal parts such as the hammer rod and some fixings are often made of corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean zinc alloy, which is light and durable. The head can easily unscrew the diagnostic needle, and the bottom can take out the diagnostic brush. The three-in-one multifunctional design meets the needs of doctors in different examination scenarios.

The principle is to use the transmission and reflection of sound to examine the state of human organs and tissues. When the head of the percussion hammer is struck, a sound is generated. The size and clarity of the sound depends on the force of the strike and the shape and size of the head. The sound is generated by the mechanical waves generated by the strike, which makes the head vibrate, thereby generating sound. The transmission of sound in the human body is carried out through different tissues and organs. Different tissues and organs have different characteristics of sound transmission, which is an indispensable part of medical examination.

1. Visceral assessment: By tapping the surface of the patient's body, the doctor uses the propagation and reflection characteristics of sound waves in the body to initially assess the location, size and presence of abnormalities in the internal organs. This non-invasive test helps doctors make an initial judgment of a patient's condition.

2. Neuromuscular reflex examination: The medical percussion hammer is particularly important in the diagnosis of the neurologist. By tapping the tendons or periosteum of the patient and observing the neuromuscular reflex, it is possible to determine whether the nervous system is functioning normally. For example, knee tendon reflex, Achilles tendon reflex, etc., are common nerve reflex examination items.

1. Preparation: Make sure the patient is in a proper position, the muscles are relaxed, and the attention is distracted. The doctor needs to master the correct holding posture so that the right amount of force can be applied when tapping.

2. Percussion operation: The doctor holds the medical percussion hammer between the thumb and index finger, and quickly taps the tendons or periosteum of the patient with appropriate strength. When tapping, pay attention to the use of the wrist joint to enhance the percussion force and ensure the accuracy of the percussion.

3. Observe the reaction: After tapping, the doctor needs to closely observe the patient's reaction, such as muscle contraction, joint activity, etc., and compare and analyze the normal reaction.

1. Patient status: Before the examination, it is necessary to ensure that the patient is in a good physical and mental state. It is necessary to ensure that the muscles of the patient are relaxed and distracted, so as to avoid affecting the examination results due to tension or discomfort.

2. Percussion site: Ensure that the percussion site is free of trauma, scar, joint deformity, contracture, and inflammation to avoid secondary injury.

3. Comparative examination: In order to ensure the accuracy of the examination results, the doctor needs to ensure the consistency of the posture of both limbs, percussion site and percussion force, so as to make bilateral comparison.

4. This product is not suitable for infants under one and a half years old. Because the nervous system of infants in this age group is not fully developed, there will be no normal nerve reflex.
