Talk:Brachioradialis reflex

Regarding an important medical article: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachioradialis_reflex

States: "The reflex should cause slight wrist extension and/or radial deviation,supination[1] and slight elbow flexion."

The brachioradialis does not cross the wrist joint and therefore should not cause wrist movement directly. The supination detected from this test also depends on the anatomical position of the forearm during the testing procedure; pronation may actually occur if the wrist is initially placed in supination for the testing procedure. The test is best detected by contraction of the muscle, elbow flexion, and or supination/pronation depending on the initial wrist position during the deep tendon reflex test.

I am not great at citing information from books, but most biomechanical and medical texts should have better information than what is cited in this article. If you have medical personnel on staff this could probably be easily updated. I can attempt this if you supply me with easy to follow instructions on how to accurately cite a source on Wikipedia.
