The ankle clonus test is not a clinically useful measure of spinal cord integrity in children.
2005
Purpose
Bilateral flexion-induced ankle clonus has been proposed as a test of spinal cord integrity during anesthesia for scoliosis surgery. The purpose of this study was to establish the reliability of this test in normal children emerging from volatile anesthesia. A secondary objective was to determine if there was a difference in the validity of this test with either sevoflurane or isoflurane anesthesia.
