German term or phrase: gesteigert lebhaft auslösbar
MER an der oberen und unteren Extremität seitengleich gesteigert lebhaft auslösbar, Babinski beidseits positiv.

My best guess:
Deep tendon reflexes of the upper and lower extremities on both sides increased brisk response.

Is there someone of you, who is familiar with the right English term?
