Description: At Boston University, we have two large enrollment physiology courses; one for health and rehabilitation
and one for pre-medical students. Both courses use equipment from iWorx, which allows students to record
and analyze human and animal data in real time. This laboratory module was designed to address
misconceptions about reflexes and learned responses, by comparing patellar tendon reflexes to a tactile
learned response. ABLE workshop participants also explored our other laboratory modules to demonstrate
the breadth of physiology concepts we explore with this equipment, as well as to facilitate discussions on
how to develop or adapt these modules.
