 Knee jerk definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
What is tapped to elicit this reaction is the patellar tendon, the tendon that runs down from the quadriceps muscle in the front of the thigh, over the kneecap (the patella), down to the lower leg.
The knee jerk is best tested by giving a smart tap on the patellar tendon while the lower leg hangs loosely at a right angle with the thigh.
Absence of the knee jerk can be due to an abnormality in the "reflex arc" required for the reflex to occur (the muscle "spindles" or the nerve fibers going from the patellar tendon to the spinal cord and returning from the spinal cord to the quadriceps).

 Mah Rabu: Jerk!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
I gave a practice problem where acceleration was given as a function of time, and included a term proportional to the square root of time.
They had to find the velocity, position, etc. A student astutely pointed out that this means that the jerk is undefined at t=0.
However, there's no reason that acceleration needs to be continuous (and thus no reason that jerk always needs to be defined), since it's theoretically possible to have a force that's there one instant and gone the next.
