Have you ever noticed a doctor gently tap your child’s knee and watch their leg kick forward?

That quick movement is called the knee reflex, and it’s a normal part of how the nervous system works.
When the tendon below the kneecap is tapped, it briefly stretches the muscle in the thigh.
The body automatically responds by sending a signal through the nerves that causes the leg to kick.

Doctors check this reflex during exams because it helps them see how well the nerves and spinal cord are working together. In most cases, that simple tap and kick is a reassuring sign that everything is functioning normally.
It’s a quick test, but it tells doctors a lot about your child’s neurological health.

Have you ever wondered what other quick checks doctors do during a child’s exam?
