This has known to be caused by Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/ Motor Neuron disease
DTR stands for Deep Tendon Reflexes.Deep Tendon ReflexesOne expansion for the medical abbreviation "DTR" is "deep tendon reflexes."Deep Tendon Reflex.
ReflExes are normal..it's not CNS ,it come out from PNS
yes
This means that your DTRs (deep tendon reflexes) are 2+ (normal) and equal on both sides. Reflexes can provide info for a doc about potential issues with your nervous system.
DTRS is actually abbreviated as "DTRs" . It means "deep tendon reflexes" . It is a medical terminology (as you said)
Spinal reflexes are involuntary movements produced by a single loop involving a sensory neuron, sometimes an intermediary neuron, and a motor neuron. A couple of examples include the deep tendon reflexes, such as the patellar reflex and the biceps reflex, and the reflex that causes one to recoil from painful stimuli, such as touching a hot surface.
They both effect the brain.
The paper of Jamieson et al. on this subject concludes the following: There is no plausible reason that TKA should affect the patellar tendon reflex. Despite this, in clinical practice TKA is often thought to be responsible for absent patellar tendon reflexes. This study supports the hypothesis that there is no effect of TKA on patellar tendon reflexes. Jamieson R, Flynn J, Love D. Does total knee arthroplasty affect the patellar tendon reflex? AMJ 2010, 1, 2, 183-185. Doi 10.4066/AMJ.2010.196
Even after surgical repair, a full range of motion is usually not achieved. Permanent loss of motion, joint contractures, weakness and stiffness may be unavoidable.Thus, successful tendon repair depends on many factors.
These are called reflexes. When the doctor taps the tendon below your knee your leg extends (lifts), this is a reflex.
War, sport, falls.
During Tendonitis the tendon becomes irritated, inflamed, and sometimes even swollen. Physically, it causes soreness and pain.
