DTR score 3+ corresponds to which finding?

Explanation:
Deep tendon reflexes are graded on a 0–4 scale, with 2+ being normal. A score of 3+ means the reflex is brisk, i.e., increased compared to normal. It’s higher than normal but not as extreme as 4+, which is hyperactive with clonus. So a 3+ DTR finding is described as an increased (brisk) reflex.
