submit

Explanation:

The patellar reflex is a deep - tendon reflex. When testing the patellar reflex, the pointed rubber side of the reflex hammer is used. The pointed rubber side allows for a more precise and controlled strike on the patellar tendon. The metallic tip is not typically used for this reflex as it may be too harsh. The broad rubber side is more suitable for testing other reflexes that require a larger area of application.

Answer:

The pointed rubber side.
