ing of reflexes frequently: adds
Clarity to gatherings. It is al-
ways amazing to find out that
parts of your anatomy do things
of which you’re unaware, when
you think you fhave yourself
quite under command.
Reflexes are those actions of
muscles that respond to a stim-
ulus without sending the mes-
sage- to the brain. While the
testing of those reflexes at a
„ party seems to .add to the en-
^ joyment, the testing in the doc-
tor’s office is sometimes a vital
part of your physical examina-
tion.
Blinking the eyes when a piece
of cotton is stuck in your eye,
gagging when something touch-
es the back of the mouth, and
bending the big toe down when
-* a finger or stock is stroked
<2$ across the sole of the foot, all
come under the heading of su-
perficial reflexes, reactions of
the skin and mucous mem-
branes.
Arm, leg and foot reflexes
are tested not only for enough
reaction but for exaggerated re-
I action, too, which may be sig-
nificant of nerve path disorder.
[The foot jumps out when you
tap the knee just below the
kneecap, the foot jerks down
when you tap the back of the
ankle, the forearm and hand
jerk up when you hit the biceps
muscle on top of the upper arm,
and the forearm and hand pull
down when the triceps muscle
on the bottom of the arm is
tapped. Those muscles all have
to be nicely relaxed to give any
medical information as to re-
flex.
One of the favorite “tricks”
in sociable testing of reactions
is standing with the arm and
shoulder against the wall fora
period and then stepping back
from the wall and watching
the arm float up.
The sense of pain, touch, and
temperature are part of the
skin : sensations which may be
i tested if conditions suggest it
advisable. The degree of pain
may be important whether it be
lacking entirely or unduly ex-
aggerated, Numb parts of the
skin where nothing is felt are
always important, though they
may be numb only to touch of
normal objects and still react
to pain or heat or cold.
Buttoning or unbuttoning
your coat with your eyes closed
may be a part of the deep sen-
sation examination; it’s really
not as easy as it sounds. If you
dress in the mornings before
you get your eyes open real
good, though, yourhave had lots
of‘practice for that. ^
Standing with the feet and
ankles close together is anoth-
er of the deep sensation tests.
Easy ? You’re supposed to close
your eyes while you do it. Not
so easy, huh?
These deep sensation tests
are all done with the eyes clos-
ed. Stretch your arms as far
apart as you can and bring the
forefingers together in a quick

or bring the forefinger examination, you aren’t likely
to be able to tell much about
your own testing during the
merriment and exhilaration of
a party. In your doctor’s
hands, this testing may result
in definite information as to
whether the nerve path and
mechanism is in proper order.
