| stepping reflex | If the plantar surface of a hind foot of a dog is pressed gently, a movement of extension of the limb will follow, accompanied sometimes by flexion of the opposite hind limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sternobrachial reflex | Contraction of the adductors of the arm when the sternum is tapped. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stretch reflex | Tonic contraction of the muscles in response to a stretching force, due to stimulation of muscle proprioceptors. Synonym: Liddell-Sherrington reflex, muscular reflex, stretch reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Strumpell's reflex | Stroking the abdomen or thigh causes flexion of the leg and adduction of the foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| styloradial reflex | With the arm supinated to 45 |

| decerebrate reflex | <neurology, physiology> Spontaneous extension of elbows, wrists and legs which suggests damage to the diencephalon (midbrain). Seen in cases of stroke and some cases of encephalitis. The decerebrate reflex is a clinical finding characterised by rigid contraction of the extensor and other muscles which maintain an animal in the standing position (antigravity muscles), may be seen in association with a severe stroke, intracranial haemorrhage, cerebral haemorrhage, cerebral toxin or transection of the brain below the level of the anterior corpora quadrigemina but above the vestibular nuclei, clinically may be preceded by decortication.
