Abdominal reflexes are elicited by briskly stroking the abdomen with an applicator stick moved toward the umbilicus; the normal response is a brief movement of the umbilicus toward the side of stimulation. This reflex should be tested in the upper and lower quadrants of the abdomen. It is abolished on the side of a hemiplegia and is frequently absent bilaterally in multiple sclerosis. 1, record 5, English, - abdominal%20reflexes
