Trait

Abnormal superficial reflex

An anomaly of a reflex that is elicited as a motor response to scraping of the skin. They are generally graded as present or absent. They differ from tendon reflexes in that the sensory signal must ascend the spinal cord to reach the brain and then descend the spinal cord to reach the motor neurons.
