Abstract

While hanger reflex is known as an involuntary movement of human head, the similar phenomenon has been found at the wrist and positions that efficiently generate the movement. However, the detailed condition about the strength of the pressure has not yet studied. In this paper, we measured the pressure thresholds of the hanger reflex at the wrist. The results showed around 6 N pressure presented both inward and outward rotation.
