Doi's sign is a clinical sign in which absent deep tendon reflexes can be elicited after a short period of maximal muscle contraction. This occurs in patients with Eaton-Lambert syndrome, but is not seen in patients with neuropathy.[1]

The sign is named after Dr. Hitoka M.D., who described it in 1978.[2]
