A member asked:

Triceps, bicep, brachioradialis reflex test showed no response. what implications will that have? muscle atrophy, loss of arm use, etc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absent reflux: It depends on what the problem is. Torn muscle or nerve damage can be responsible. After all, it is the function of the muscle that matters, not the reflex. Mri of the neck or/and nerve conduction study of the upper extremity may help sort it out.
