Abstract
When a wire hanger is placed sideways on the head, and the temporal region is sandwiched by the hanger, the head rotates involuntarily. This phenomenon has been named the "Hanger Reflex". We verified whether this phenomenon that has been observed only on the head occurs in other parts of the body, and found a similar rotation phenomenon to the "Hanger Reflex" in the waist and wrist. However, detailed condition of these phenomena remained unexplored. In this paper, we investigated the detailed occurrence condition of the Hanger Reflex at the wrist by measuring the pressure distribution on the wrist during the Hanger Reflex. We found two points located around the radical bone and the elbow bone that may contribute to the Hanger Reflex of the wrist.
