T-Reflex:
Simple and Precise Reflex Tests
T-Reflex is the next-generation reflex hammer, which takes reflex test practice to a new level. With its embedded EMG and velocity sensors, the T-Reflex delivers quantified test results in the blink of an eye. Say goodbye to the old-fashioned ´´see how high your leg kicks´´ way!
Demo
The Old Way…
Traditionally, the evaluation of a tendon reflex test is based on observation. This practice has suffered from the same problem for almost 150 years—
being imprecise and ambiguous.
The New Way!
Step 1
1.Tricep Reflex 2.Brachioradialis Reflex 3.Bicep Reflex 4.Knee Jerk 5.Ankle Jerk
To start, a PC must be connected to the T-Reflex via Bluetooth.
Then, choose one of five tendon reflex points from the menu to begin the test.
Step 2
The IMU sensor on the T-Reflex starts collecting data as it moves.
Based on the calculated force of impact, a baseline of the EMG data behaviour is generated.
As the hammerhead of T-Reflex hits the tendon, the EMG sensor collects electric signals in the tendon and displays the result in real-time.
Step 3
The participants can review the results directly after the tests.
In addition to the test results, an evaluation based on past and current results is delivered. It helps establish a clear and reliable understanding of muscle activity development.
Design Details
Let´s Look into the design details and see how T-Reflex works its magic.
The cutting-edge technology can shrink the two EMG sensors down to the size of fingernails, making them fit right inside each end of the hammerhead.
In the centre of the hammerhead is an IMU sensor that keeps track of hammer's movement.
As the sensors work together seamlessly, the hammer can measure precise data of the muscle activities relating to the hammer hits.
All the fragile components are wrapped tightly inside the titanium shell, ensuring reliable robustness.

Two different hammer face shapes are designed to best suit various tendon parts.
EMG sensors have electrodes on both ends of the hammerhead, which are covered in soft rubber.
Two styles of the T-Reflex are available, with titanium as its shell, one plated with ion and one without.
