Surface recording of the H-reflex of the flexor carpi radialis

Muscle Nerve. 1981 Sep-Oct;4(5):435-8. doi: 10.1002/mus.880040514.

Abstract

Although the H-reflex of the triceps surae is used routinely in nerve conduction studies of the lower extremities, doubt still exists concerning the H-reflex in the upper extremities. The H-reflex of the flexor carpi radialis is easily obtainable and can be recorded by a simple nerve conduction technique detailed in this communication.
