Huh?[edit]

This article is nonsense to the layman. All Wikipedia articles should try to educate readers enough so they understand the contents of the article, at least to some extent. That means explaining jargon and writing in a straight-forward manner. Right now, it looks like it is aimed at an expert.

Also, the intro sentence is all wrong. It says what it does, not what it is. All articles should first state what the subject of the article is. The opening sentence:

The tricep reflex tests the patency of the sensory and motor pathways within the C7 & C8 spinal nerves.

Should actually read something like this (just an example):

The tricep reflex is a reflex of the tricep muscles.

Please rewrite the article so it conforms to the above suggestions. — Frecklefoot | Talk 22:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from "Tricep reflex" to "Triceps reflex" as teh muscle is always plural. David Ruben ^Talk 02:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
