An apparatus for simultaneously causing, measuring, and recording the reflex action of both left and right Achilles tendons of a person to facilitate direct comparison thereof, and to facilitate quicker reflex testing, is provided. The apparatus includes a support structure for positioning a person whose reflexes are to be tested so that both left and right Achilles tendons can be struck simultaneously, a reflex hammer capable of striking both left and right Achilles tendons simultaneously and with substantially identical force, and a device for measuring and recording the reflex movement, of each of the person's feet in response to striking both Achilles tendons.
