Question

which reflex abnormality is commonly observed in patients with cervical myelopathy?
normal reflex responses throughout
hyporeflexia in the patellar reflex
hyperreflexia in the biceps and brachioradialis
absent achilles reflex

Explanation:

Cervical myelopathy involves compression of the spinal cord in the cervical region, which disrupts upper motor neuron pathways. Upper motor neuron lesions typically cause increased reflexes (hyperreflexia) in the innervated areas, including the biceps and brachioradialis reflexes controlled by cervical spinal segments. Hyporeflexia or absent reflexes are associated with lower motor neuron issues, and normal reflexes are not consistent with this condition.

Answer:

Hyperreflexia in the biceps and brachioradialis
