Upper limb reflexes

Abstract

In this article I will not dwell on a detailed description of all reflexes of the upper limbs. Such work seems unnecessary in view of the fact that the German author Kurt Tiefensee in 1925 in his extensive work entitled "Die Reflexe an den oberen Extremitäten" summed up quite successfully our knowledge in this field, having described and tested on material of the Koenigsberg psychiatric clinic all 20 upper limb reflexes known at that time, and the Russian author, employee of the Kazan psychiatric clinic, gave on pages of Kaz. Med. in 1926 he gave a detailed abstract of Tiefensee's work, thus making the results of his research available to all Russian physicians. Here I will remind readers of the 20 upper limb reflexes described by Tiefensee and then proceed to describe six new upper limb reflexes discovered by various authors in recent years.
