А. Habel.About the behavior of the patellar reflexes when the cross-section of the spinal cord is interrupted. (Archiv fur Psychiatrie, Bd. 29. Heft. 1. pg. 25—(52)

Abstract

It is known that with transverse lesions of the spinal cord located above the reflex center, knee reflexes are increased. However, there are cases in which these reflexes are not only not melodious, but even completely absent. The author cites, among other things, the opinion of Bastian and Bruns, who argue that reflexes are absent in cases of complete transverse lesions of the spinal cord in the cervical or thoracic parts, while an increase in reflexes is observed with partial transverse lesions of the spinal cord.
