Özet
Purpose: The main aim of the study was to assess the Patella T Reflex by observing the correlation between the force applied to the tendon, subsequent muscle vibrations, and the reflex response. Therefore, a system was designed with the aim of evaluating three parameters: EMG Compound Muscle Action Potential (CMAP), The force which causes the muscle to vibrate, and Vibration (measured from the skin's surface). A reflex hammer (showing the moment when the reflex is triggered and the force that triggers the reflex) was used in this study.
