Regularly, this reflex hammer is used by me and I am very satisfied with its performance. Using this system makes Babinski testing simple and easy. Weighting is based on optimal function. As I mentioned before, I keep it in the examination room instead of carrying it with me.

It's hard to get through a NP assessment course when you're just trying to get through. This is also true for me. The cheaper reflex hammers came bent, rusted, or in a set that had been used, and I got turned off by those reviews. It's possible for a novice to think that reflex hammers are all This is something I have thought about After some additional reading by neurologists, it became apparent that things like weight are important. The majority of medical equipment that I own has been purchased at a high price of quality. Just like other pieces of medical equipment I own, this was no different. Even though it's about 3 times as expensive as the cheap ones, I'm impressed with the product, and I believe I can add it to my collection and trust it for years to come, even after I enter clinical practice, even though I'm going to be a psychiatrist. A booklet is included in the box. This hammer has a nice feel to it, and it is quite large, unlike the cheaper models. The lifetime warranty on MDF is also very attractive. They have other types of hammers on their site, which you can see. In this case, I suggest this classic instead of Babinski because one reviewer commented that the latter kept falling out of his pockets.
Then I threw away the old hammer I had been using to build my projects. It would be interesting if you compared this model to a We can definitely tell it is a quality head just by its weight and material. As a result, the traditional style is way too heavy to invoke reflexes consistently, and the head is typically made of Reflex elicitation is a LOT easier with this hammer due to its weight. Now I know what to do This is likely to last for quite some time.
The majority of neurologists (including myself) dislike Taylor hammers. Unfortunately, the error isn't in the Taylor design itself, but in the implementation of it. Taylors tend not to generate the range of forces necessary for precise measurement of myotatic stretch reflexes because the head is not heavy enough. In order to make the head heavier, it needs more sturdy material than rubber or plastic alone. Thus, put a weight inside the rubber and then deflate it. I appreciate you helping me, Dr. Lanska & staff A MDF panel! From now on, this will be my go-to The act of hitting with a I have a.
I have used a number of Taylor reflex hammers, but this is the best. There's a good chance that this is why my purse keeps getting stolen at the hospital (this is my third time).
are a bit large for me. I find it to be too large and heavy, even some of the physicians at my medical school did, but it is well made and appears to work well,.
It is a weighted version of the reflex hammer, like the one I owned years ago that I lost along the way, surprised by its size, but it works well and is superior to the cheap hammers most commonly used and seen today, that I wonder why others even sell. The tool could be made smaller and would fit better in a lab coat pocket if it was smaller and just as useful.
I like that this was not made of plastic and there was a weight to it! The boss loves using this with his patients! I gave it to him for Christmas and he uses it every single day!.
