Abdominal tendon reflexes were studied in Th. Dosuzkov and Fr. Bodlakova (Revue v. Neurologii i psychiatrii, 1928, no. 4). They find the reflex of the rectus abdominis muscles described by Astvatsaturov not only in paraplegia (and hemiplegia) with the lower limbs in the extension position (Erb'a type), but also in the flexion position (Babinsky type).
