10 Pieces of Taylor Hammer & Tuning Fork 128, Length 9 inch, Net Weight 3.96 oz.: Tylor Hammer Is the most well-known reflex hammer in the USA. It is also significantly lighter than many of the other hammers specifically designed for reflex testing. It accurately and effectively elicits muscle stretch reflexes, superficial or cutaneous reflexes, as well as plantar and abdominal reflexes, with less effort and greater patient comfort. Taylor Percussion Hammer, also known as a tomahawk reflex hammer due to the shape of its head, is a diagnostic instrument used to stimulate reflexes and detect central nervous system abnormalities. It consists of a triangular Rubber head and a solid, flat Aluminium handle. Tunning fork C 128 Round End 23mm. Used within Orthopaedic surgery, there has been some exploration of the use of the tuning fork, smallest frequency C128, to assist the assessment of injuries where bone fracture is suspected. The tuning fork is toned on the suspected bone with fracture and toned progressively closer to suspected area of fracture. If there is a fracture, the periosteum of the bone will vibrate and fire nociceptors (pain receptors) causing a local sharp pain. This is a positive indication of a fracture that the practitioner is indicated to refer for medical x-ray. Lower-pitched ones are also used to check vibration sense as part of the examination of the peripheral nervous system.
