An Extendable and Versatile Reflex Hammer with a Swivel Top
Swivel Top
The Elite Medical Instruments Telescoping Reflex Babinski Hammer features a swivel top.
This versatile reflex hammer can be utilized in either a parallel or perpendicular position.
Mallet Position - Parallel
Purpose: Best suited for deep tendon reflex testing, such as the patellar or Achilles tendon.
Adjustment: Pull down on the top of the hammer along the joint to align the head parallel to the handle.
Technique: Swing the hammer smoothly to strike tendons and assess reflex responses with precision.
Additionally, an adjustment screw located beneath the mallet allows for customizable flexibility, enabling users to tighten or loosen as needed.
Mallet Position - Perpendicular
Purpose: Ideal for testing superficial reflexes, such as the plantar reflex (Babinski response), or for performing small, controlled taps.
Adjustment: Pull up on the top of the hammer to position the head perpendicular to the handle.
Technique: Use the edge or pointed side of the hammer to gently stroke or tap the skin to evaluate cutaneous reflexes.
Adjustment Screw
The adjustment screw located beneath the swivel top of the Telescoping Babinski Hammer allows for fine-tuning the flexibility and stability of the swivel mechanism. This feature provides users with the ability to customize the hammer's movement based on their preferences and testing requirements.
- Tightening the Adjustment Screw: Reduces flexibility, securing the swivel head in a fixed position. Useful for ensuring precision and stability during reflex testing.
- Loosening the Adjustment Screw: Increases flexibility, allowing the swivel head to move more freely. Ideal for quick repositioning between the parallel and perpendicular positions.
This adjustment capability enhances the versatility of the Babinski hammer, ensuring optimal control and ease of use for various neurological assessments.

It works, better than the cheap triangle hammers, but the head moves out of place while testing. Eventhough its cool to be able to reposition the head, its anoting when it repositions on its own during testing. Overall a decent product
