Specializes in Neurology

H reflex: You are probably referring to the H reflex, a late response and is often used to assess the S1 nerve root, or sometimes the sacral plexus, which can be involved in radicuolpathies and neuropathies. If you are not having symptoms it is likely mild but I would speak with your neurologist for a full examination and further guidance.
