SS36L REFLEX HAMMER
This is a classic reflex hammer with a transducer attached to perform reflex measurements. It uses a Taylor
Hammer—the most common type of reflex hammer used by doctors and nurses—and incorporates electronics to
record the time and the relative strength of the impact. Being able to measure the strength of impact allows
students to take threshold measurements; that is, they can measure how much of an impact is needed to elicit a
response. The hammer only sends a response when contact is made with the subject. See Lessons L20, H16, H28.
