Deep tendon reflexes demonstrate the homeostasis between the cerebral cortex and the spinal cord. When these reflexes are disrupted, hyperreflexia (disease induced) or hyporeflexia/areflexia (drug induced) occurs. Although nurses perform deep tendon reflex assessments regularly, it is difficult to incorporate theoretical principles in these assessments because of scant medical literature, a lack of nursing research, and time constraints in nursing programs. These conditions usually result in one-on-one training, causing reduced consistency. A comprehensive examination assists the clinician to apply theoretical principles, develop expert technique, and serve as a catalyst for clinical research.
深部腱反射体现了大脑皮层与脊髓之间的平衡状态。当这些反射受到干扰时，就会出现反射亢进（疾病诱发）或反射减退/无反射（药物诱发）。尽管护士会定期进行深部腱反射评估，但由于医学文献匮乏、护理研究不足以及护理课程时间有限，很难将理论原则融入这些评估中。这些情况通常导致一对一培训，从而降低了评估的一致性。全面的检查有助于临床医生应用理论原则，发展专业技术，并成为临床研究的催化剂。
