The Treshold of Pain

Interesting. Very Interesting. PB's presentation, brief and simplistic, allowed for further understanding of the reflex test doctor's conduct during their examination of their patients, namely The Patella Tendon Test. He confirmed for me that our ability to compromise the test by controlling the outcome of the hammer making contact with the tendon below the knee is possible. How does compromising the test change the doctor's findings and treatment/recommendation?
