The Achilles Reflex time (ART) was recorded in 80 euthyroid, non-goitrous Zambian Africans aged 8-69 years (mean 32.7 years) using the thyrochron. The reflex was measurable in 62 subjects (77.5% of total) but not obtainable in 18. No significant difference in ART was found between females and males, but there appeared to be difference between the right and left ankles. ART was significantly shorter in the right ankle (309.9 + 5.8 msec) than in the left ankle (321.3 + 5.9 msec). Diagrams of "reflex chronograms" revealed three types of response namely: stable, relatively stable and scattered varieties.
使用甲状腺计时仪记录了80名年龄在8至69岁（平均32.7岁）的甲状腺功能正常、无甲状腺肿的赞比亚非洲人的跟腱反射时间（ART）。62名受试者（占总数的77.5%）的反射可测量，但18名受试者无法获得。未发现男女之间ART有显著差异，但左右脚踝之间似乎存在差异。右踝的ART（309.9 + 5.8毫秒）明显短于左踝（321.3 + 5.9毫秒）。“反射计时图”显示出三种反应类型，即：稳定型、相对稳定型和分散型。
