The head type or design of a reflex hammer impacts the quality and specificity of the reflex response elicited. Common designs include the triangular (Taylor), tomahawk, and round heads, each suited for different testing preferences. The ADC Percussion Hammer features a triangular synthetic rubber head, ideal for targeting specific tendons and providing reliable feedback. Having different head designs available means practitioners can select the best tool for their exam style and patient population.
