What does depressed reflexes look like?

Muted: I believe you are asking what "depressed" relexes look like.Depressed reflexes are muted/reduced reflexes.For example, if testing your knee reflexs, your patellar tendon is tapped and lower leg swings as if "kicking" = knee jerk.With decreased reflexes (eg occurs with hypothyroidism, peripheral neuopathy & other conditions ), the knee jerk and other reflexes would be smaller or absent.See your doc.
