A tool for neurological and diagnostic testing comprises the combination
of a stethoscope with a reflex hammer including a light. 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 includes a light within the reflex
hammer, so that a light is available for testing responses to light at
the same time as checking other responses. The reflex hammer and light
combination is adaptable for use with binaural and electronic
stethoscopes, thus providing a convenient set of instruments within a
single device. A detent on the handle provides an ergonomic grip, or a
place for inclusion of indicia.
