BRAVO! Thank you for sharing this. The problem with most videos/books etc is that nobody demonstrates on a patient with POSITIVE signs. It helps to see this in ACTION, and you delivered. Thank you, again! <3

I was diagnosed in 2006 with relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis, and clonus in my legs has been a constant specter. Hypereflexia is now less ominous! Also, your shirt generates a fascinating moiré pattern! I would consider never wearing it for video shoots :D

Great teacher, very useful source of practical information for doctors. Paul explains things better than many medical books.
