Cervical Myelopathy - Inverted Brachioradialis Reflex : The fingers flex when the radius is tapped, but there is no reflex contraction in brachioradialis. The triceps jerk is brisk. This is because the lower motor neurones and pyramidal tracts are damaged at the C5–6 level, producing lower motor neurone signs at that level and upper motor neurone signs below. Common causes of Cervical Myelopathy include Cervical Spondylosis, Cervical cord compression due to tumor, abscess, Trauma to cervical spi

Why do spinal injuries cause that kind of reflex? Sounds wild, but it’s actually a textbook example of autonomic dysregulation. When the brain loses control over the spinal cord (especially above T6), the sacral reflex arcs (S2–S4) can go rogue… leading to reflexogenic 🍆. It’s not about arousal. It’s about physiology doing its weird, wonderful thing. 🎬 Full breakdown visuals in this episode of “Why does…” 👨‍⚕️ Tag a student or colleague who needs to see this one. 📚 Learn. Adapt. Respond. | T
