You have a patient with a spinal cord transection at the C5 level. Answer the following questions about thatpatient. a. You ask the patient to close their eyes and use a reflex hammer to tap their patellar tendon. Will youobserve a stretch reflex and if so will it be normal? Explain your answer fully. b.
