Triceps relfex will be exagerated .

The triceps reflex, also known as a deep tendon reflex, is a reaction that causes the triceps brachii muscle to contract involuntarily. The Cervical (neck area) spinal nerve 7 nerve root initiates it (the small segment of the nerve that emerges from the spinal cord).  The reflex is tested as part of a neurological examination to evaluate the sensory and motor pathways of the C7 and C8 spinal nerves.

Tap the triceps tendon with the sharp end of a reflex hammer while the forearm hangs loose at a right angle to the arm to perform the test. A triceps muscle contraction generates extension, indicating a proper response.
