Default Diminished Reflex Response

During my once-over-lightly annual physical with my new internist today, I was tested for reflex responses in my legs. The doctor hit my left knee with a rubber hammer and produced a robust response, but when he tried the right knee, it was approx. 60% less.

This is the first diminished reflex response I have ever had. Does this mean that my SFN is progressing (worsening) in the right leg?

Thanks.
