Ernst LO Trömner ( born August 24, 1868 in Meerane, † May 27, 1930 in Hamburg ) was a German neurologist. He was a professor and director of neurology at St. Georg Hospital in Hamburg.

In 1910 he has presented its own construction of a reflex hammer, which was very popular in the sequence in Germany and in the United States.

According to him, a reflex is named. When flicking or hitting the palmar side of the Mittelfingerendgliedes there is a reflex flexion of the Fingerendglieder inclusive of the thumb. If this reaction increased significantly, it serves as a sign of damage to the central motor tract systems ( pyramidal tract signs ).
