Abnormal reflex - what does this mean

Abnormal reflexes occur when a nerve is damaged and the signal that is sent from the brain to the muscle is disrupted, resulting in an exaggerated or absent response. this can be caused by trauma, disease, or a genetic disorder, and can affect any muscle in the body.

What happens during the disease - abnormal reflex

Abnormal reflexes occur when an interruption in the normal neurological pathways that control reflex arc activity occurs. this can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as damage to the central nervous system, peripheral nerve damage, or a disruption in the communication between the brain and the spinal cord. in some cases, a genetic mutation may be the underlying cause. abnormal reflexes can lead to further neurological issues, including impaired movement, muscle weakness, and spasticity.
