The tap to half relaxation time of tendon achilles reflex was measured in thirty control subjects, forty-five thyrotoxic and sixty hypothyroid patients. The half relaxation time in the control males and females was 279.33 +/- 76.39 msec and 320.00 +/- 52.37 msec. respectively. In thyrotoxic males and females the half relaxation time was 256.67 +/- 31.62 msec (P less than 0.01) and 252.50 +/- 47.68 msec (P less than 0.01) respectively. Amongst the hypothyroid male and female patients the half relaxation time was 405.0 +/- 35.56 msec (P less than 0.01) and 422.5 +/- 115.36 (P less than 0.01) respectively. As all these values were statistically significant, we consider the photomotographic measurement of ankle reflex as an important aid to the diagnosis of thyroid hormone imbalances.
对30名对照受试者、45名甲状腺毒症患者和60名甲状腺功能减退患者测量了跟腱反射的轻扣至半松弛时间。对照男性和女性的半松弛时间分别为279.33±76.39毫秒和320.00±52.37毫秒。甲状腺毒症男性和女性的半松弛时间分别为256.67±31.62毫秒（P<0.01）和252.50±47.68毫秒（P<0.01）。在甲状腺功能减退的男性和女性患者中，半松弛时间分别为405.0±35.56毫秒（P<0.01）和422.5±115.36毫秒（P<0.01）。由于所有这些值都具有统计学意义，我们认为踝关节反射的光电描记测量是诊断甲状腺激素失衡的重要辅助手段。
