Abstract

Patients with inguinal hernia frequently showed decreased amplitude of the patellar reflex and ipsilateral cranial dislocation of the pubic bone. In most cases, elimination of public symphysis asymmetry by manual therapy normalized the amplitude of patellar reflex. Herniotomy also restored symmetry of the symphysis and normalized the amplitude patellar reflex. It is concluded that the state of effector muscles has more pronounced effect on patellar reflex than possible compression of the femoral nerve with the inguinal ligament.
