Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Biceps reflex: (C5-C6) With the arm gently flexed at the elbow, tap the biceps tendon with a reflex hammer. It may help to locate this tendon with your thumb, and strike your own thumb with the hammer. There should be a reflex contraction of the biceps brachii muscle (elbow flexion).
Detailed explanation-2: -Biceps reflex is a reflex test that examines the function of the C5 reflex arc and the C6 reflex arc. The test is performed by using a tendon hammer to quickly depress the biceps brachii tendon as it passes through the cubital fossa.
