P.C. Knapp. Reflexes in hysteria. The reflexes in hysteria. — Journal of nervous aud mental diseas, 1910 № 2
In 100 cases of hysteria representing disorders of sensitivity, the author studied the state of skin and tendon reflexes. In 87 cases, he found a more or less pronounced increase in reflexes, in no case, however, reaching a real clonus of the foot or calyx; he never encountered a complete absence of patellar reflexes.
In 57 cases, patellar reflexes or Achilles tendon reflexes were unequally expressed on both sides of the body; in 38 cases they were elevated on the same side where anesthesia existed; in 19 cases, on the opposite side.
