Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for digital reflex quantization and signature analysis, comprising:
capturing, from a first electronic sensor as stimuli data, a striking movement of a stimulating device invoking a reflex response in an organism;
capturing, from a second electronic sensor as electromyographic (EMG) data, EMG of the reflex response;
capturing, from a third electronic sensor as motion data, movement resulting from the reflex response of a limb/appendage of the organism;
synchronizing the stimuli data, the EMG data, and the motion data;
analyzing the stimuli data, the EMG data, and the motion data to determine one or both of a motion signature and an EMG signature comprising quantitative evaluation of the reflex response;
detecting a reflex abnormality based on changes in the motion signature and the EMG signature over time; and
displaying the quantitative evaluation of the reflex response to indicate health of the organism.
