Thank you for the great video. I find that while this examination technique is very easy to perform, interpreting it can be quite difficult. I mainly use it to gather evidence of upper motor neuron signs in the thoracic segment from patients I suspect to have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, it's often confusing to determine whether the loss of SAR is pathological or simply absent in normal individuals.

Thankyou for your kind words. You are right. Loss of SAR becomes significant if it is associated with upper motor neuron lesions .
Beautiful video, thank you.
This reflex can be absent in both upper & lower motor neuron lesions, isn't it?
Yes. You are right.
