A member asked:
I have a c3 to c4 herniation. when the dr examined my reflexes in my right arm my right leg jerked. what is this?

Reflex spreading: When there is a very brisk reflex, sometimes you can elicit movement on the opposite side or a lower or upper limb. This may indicate nerve damage. Or it could be a behavioral finding.
