	Jendrassik maneuver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jendrassik maneuver (Erno Jendrassik, Hungarian physician, 1858–1921) is a medical maneuver wherein the patient flexes both sets of fingers into a hook-like form and interlocks those sets of fingers together.
		Often a larger reflex response will be observed when the patient is occupied with the maneuver, as the maneuver may prevent the patient from consciously inhibiting or influencing his or her response to the hammer.
		This maneuver is particularly useful in that even if the patient is aware that the interlocking of fingers is just a distraction in order to elicit a larger reflex response, it still functions properly.

		Jendrassik maneuver facilitates soleus H-reflex without change in average soleus motoneuron pool membrane potential.
		Facilitation of spinal reflex amplitude by remote muscle contraction, otherwise known as the Jendrassik maneuver (JM), was first shown over 100 years ago, yet the mechanism by which this facilitation operates remains undetermined.
		Since its initial description in 1883, the Jendrassik maneuver (JM) has been used in clinical neurological practice as an effective means of potentiating the tendon tap in neurologically impaired patients.

		As the patient performs various maneuvers, deficiencies are noted and quantitated as much as possible (eg, the number of squats performed or steps climbed).
		The biceps reflex is innervated predominantly by C-5; the radial, by C-6; the triceps, by C-7; the quadriceps knee jerk, by L-4; and the ankle jerk, by S-1.
		Hypoactive reflexes can be augmented by Jendrassik's maneuver, in which the patient locks his hands and vigorously pulls apart as the tendon in the lower extremity is tapped.

	Chapter 15 - Reflexes
		The presence of the subliminal fringe accounts for enhancement of the reflex response under certain circumstances, for example with the Jendrassik maneuver.
		In the Jendrassik maneuver, the fingers of the two hands are locked together and one hand pulls against the other while the tendon tap reflex is evoked.
		Evacuation is also assisted by contraction of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles with the glottis closed (Valsalva's maneuver), increasing the pressure in the abdominal cavity.

		A maneuver for the thumb; any general test of motion involving a rotation action of a group of joints; a range of motion examination.
		When the veins in the neck are compressed on one or both sides, there is a rapid rise in the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid of healthy persons, and this rise quickly disappears when pressure is taken off the neck.
		But when there is a block in the vertebral canal, the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid is little or not at all affected by this maneuver.

		The Jendrassik maneuver will heighten (exaggerate) the patellar (knee-jerk) reflex by countering some of the normal descending inhibitory brainstem inputs to reflex arc interneurons.
		For this maneuver, the subject interlocks his/her fingers and then concentrates on pulling the fingers apart, using as much force as can be generated without breaking the interlock.
		Synaptic delay is not appreciably shortened, but a larger number of reflex arc neurons become activated due to removal of descending inhibition and the reflex response occurs a few milliseconds earlier.

		In fact, Paschimottanasana is analogous to the Jendrassik maneuver, which, in the short run, heightens the H-reflex, but in the long-term, actually diminishes it (31).
