The Babinski Percussion Hammer is a neurological diagnostic tool specifically designed to elicit the Babinski reflex and test deep tendon reflexes. Named after French neurologist Joseph Babinski, it features a specialized head, typically a rubber ring or wedge, mounted on a handle that can be stainless steel or chrome-plated. The handle is often threaded so it can be screwed into either the side or the bottom of the head, allowing for different angles of use. Some models also feature a concealed pointed tip or brush at the base of the handle for additional superficial reflex testing. It is a standard, reusable instrument used in clinical and veterinary neurological examinations to assess central and peripheral nervous system function.
