A tool for neurological and diagnostic testing comprises the combination of a
stethoscope
with a reflex hammer. When mounted on the stethoscope head the reflex hammer extends
beyond the head, without interfering with the normal use of the stethoscope. A
handle, which may or may not be joined to the reflex hammer, is positioned on the
flexible stethoscope tubing and provides a gripping surface for using the tool
for neurological testing. One embodiment has an opening between the reflex hammer
body and the handle enabling the user to grasp and rotate the stethoscope head.
The reflex hammer, which can be made from one or more members, is adaptable for
use with binaural and electronic stethoscopes. A detent on the handle provides
an ergonomic grip, or a place for inclusion of indicia.
