patellar reflex

Salivation is insufficient, the patellar reflex intermittent.

I asked what the patellar reflex was, and the doc had Pete sit and cross his legs, and explained.

The patient suffers severely from neuritis, and there may be early loss of patellar reflex.

The left plantar reflex was absent, the right slight, the left patellar reflex was abnormally brisk.
