Lack of deep reflexes

Lack of deep reflexes is a neurological symptom characterized by the absence of reflexes when tested with a deep tendon hammer. This symptom develops when the connection between the tendon and the nerve is damaged, resulting in an inability to detect the reflex. It can manifest in several ways, including difficulty moving a limb, weakness in the affected area, and a lack of sensation. In more severe cases, it can cause paralysis.
