Qué (quién) es Achilles jerk - definición

STRETCH REFLEX THAT OCCURS WHEN THE ACHILLES TENDON IS TAPPED
Achilles reflex; Achilles Reflex; Ankle jerk; Achilles jerk

Ankle jerk reflex         
The ankle jerk reflex, also known as the Achilles reflex, occurs when the Achilles tendon is tapped while the foot is dorsiflexed.
Achilles tendinitis         
  • Calcification deposits forming an [[enthesophyte]] within the Achilles tendon at its calcaneal insertion. The Achilles tendon is wider than normal, further suggesting inflammation.
  • Demonstration of the right foot in pronation, neutral and supinated subtalar joint placements. Over-pronation (excessive pronation) occurs when the ankle begins to roll inward by more than 5 degrees, demonstrated with the arrows.
  • This photo demonstrates a calf raise exercise that can be performed to strengthen two of the major ankle plantar flexor muscles, the gastrocnemius and the soleus. This exercise can be performed with minimal to no equipment. A step can be added under the foot to enhance range of motion and weights can be added to increase the resistance <ref>Floyd, R.T. (2009).

  • Walking gait cycle starting with the left leg demonstrated. The loading cycle is where foot pronation naturally occurs.
TENDONITIS OF THE ACHILLES TENDON
Achilles Tendinitis; Achilles' tendinitis; Achilles tendonitis; Talusitis; Achilles tenosynovitis; Achilles paratendinitis
Achilles tendinitis, also known as achilles tendinopathy, occurs when the Achilles tendon, found at the back of the ankle, becomes sore. Achilles tendinopathy is accompanied by alterations in the tendon's structure and mechanical properties.

Ankle jerk reflex

The ankle jerk reflex, also known as the Achilles reflex, occurs when the Achilles tendon is tapped while the foot is dorsiflexed. It is a type of stretch reflex that tests the function of the gastrocnemius muscle and the nerve that supplies it. A positive result would be the jerking of the foot towards its plantar surface. Being a deep tendon reflex, it is monosynaptic. It is also a stretch reflex. These are monosynaptic spinal segmental reflexes. When they are intact, integrity of the following is confirmed: cutaneous innervation, motor supply, and cortical input to the corresponding spinal segment.
