How fast is the patellar reflex?
Mamizuka et al. (2007) calculated acceleration data of the patellar reflex. 

Their study measured the reflex generated in response to the tapping force applied to the patellar tendon with a customized tendon hammer. They measured using a tri-axial accelerometer placed at the ankle joint.

They found:


  the time delay (29.6+/-6.0 ms) and the acceleration time (150.8+/-19.5 ms) of the speed response were quite constant for all participants.
