György Jendrassik is primarily known as a Hungarian neurologist who made significant contributions to the field of neurology and clinical neurophysiology. He is particularly recognized for developing the Jendrassik maneuver, which is a technique used to facilitate the elicitation of the knee-jerk reflex (patellar reflex) by distracting the patient. This technique helps to heighten the reflex response, making it more pronounced during a neurological examination.
