Doctors will sometimes test the patellar reflex by striking the patellar tendon with a reflex hammer. This causes the tendon to stretch, which sends an impulse along a sensory neuron to the spinal cord. Within the spinal cord, the sensory neuron synapses directly on a motor neuron. The motor neuron sends a signal back to the quadriceps muscle attached to the tendon that was struck, causing it to contract. This shortens the patellar tendon.
