Wartenberg’s sign | Finger flexor reflex | babinski - upper limb reflex #neurology #medschool

Wartenberg’s sign | an alternative to babinski reflex : It is a deep tendon reflex of upperlimb . It is exaggerated in pyramidal tract lesionMethod of elicitation: Allow the patient's hand to rest with palm upwards, the fingers slightly flexed The tips of your middle and index lingers are placed across the palmar surfaces of the proximal phalanges of the patient s fingers The examiner gently interlocks his fingers with the patient's and strikes them with knee hammer A sudden tap on your fingers with the hammer on the palmar aspect of fingers  produces slight flexion of all fingers, but a very brisk contraction indicates hyperreflexia. Innervation of finger flexion responseThe root value of this reflex is C7 C8 T1Nerves involved  - median and ulnar nerveClinical significance of finger flexion response :the finger flexor reflexes can help demonstrate hyperreflexia in the upper extremities. Alternatively, heightened reflexes can be demonstrated by the presence of Hoffmann's sign.
