The results showed that 8 subjects (5.5%) werecaused form congenital spinal stenosis. Fourteen (10%) subjects who had Hoffmann s reflexfound no causes after examined by MRI (Negative MRI).Conclusion: of people aged less than 30 years old who do not have neck pain norabnormality of nervous system, 15.5% were found with Hoffmann s reflex, 5.5% were causedby congenital spinal stenosis and 10% had no causes found.
