The triceps reflex, a deep tendon reflex, is a reflex that elicits involuntary contraction of the triceps brachii muscle. It is sensed and transmitted...

Ruptures of the triceps muscle are rare, and typically only occur in anabolic steroid users. The triceps reflex, elicited by hitting the triceps, is often used...
