They said I was hyper-sensitive or hypo-sensitive or something like that.
Answers:
The instrument is called a reflex hammer. The reflex is called your deep tendon reflex (DTR). It checks the nerves from that part of your body through the spinal cord into the brain and back again (thus making you kick). There are a lot of reasons these can be hyper and hypo active-medications, electrolyte imbalances, nerve damage, brain damage etc.
