Gordon's reflex. Auerbach (Zeit. f. ärz. Forth., 1922, No. 5)
The author draws attention to the importance in the diagnosis of many diseases of the central nervous system of the sign, first noticed, in 1904, by Gordon. The sign is that if you make a patient bend his leg and rotate his tibia slightly outward, press deeply with four (II-V) fingers of one or, even better, both hands on the most distal third of the calf muscles, then, as in the Babinsk's sign, you get a sluggish, isolated dorsal flexion of the big toe.
