CN V - Trigeminal reflex | Jaw Jerk Reflex |
C5 level - Musculocutaneous Nerve reflex | Biceps Reflex |
C6 Level - Radial Nerve reflex | Brachioradialis Reflex |
C7 Level - Radial Nerve reflex | Triceps Reflex |

L5 Level reflex | Posterior Tibial & Medial Hamstring Reflex |
S1 Level - Tibial Nerve reflex | Achilles Reflex and Ankle Jerk Reflex |
Scale measured for DTR | Wexler's Scale |
absence of any DTR, especially patellar; LMNL | Westphal's sign |
