Le réflexe pendulaire appartient au syndrome cérébelleux. Il se met en évidence pour les seuls réflexes rotuliens et tricipitaux. Le malade assis, jambes pendantes, au bord de la table d'examen, la percussion du tendon rotulien entraîne non pas une réponse, mais une série d'oscillations pendulaires de la jambe. De même pour l'avant-bras, après percussion de l'olécr ne, le sujet étant légèrement penché en avant, le bras maintenu horizontalement et l'avant-bras pendant. 2, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9flexe%20pendulaire
