Mine too!  I always suprise the dr who is testing them cause I about kick em in the face!  hehe... What causes this anyways?

LOL!  I can kick them in the face too.  It's can be caused by central nervous system issues.  But don't let this scare you.  From talking to people it seems to be common in people with lyme and other conditions like CFS/FMS.  My neuro also  told me this can be normal in younger women.

Some of my ankle jerk reflexes are like this, but on my last EMG it stated that I lost my H Reflex which I think is frontal leg
