Abstract	BACKGROUND The autonomic reflex screen (ARS) is a composite of well-defined tests of various autonomic domains and is an essential part of the diagnosis of autonomic disorders. Institutional and regional differences exist and necessitate the ongoing development of control values for the ARS. Here we present data obtained from healthy participants from Southwestern Ontario. METHODS A total of 121 healthy individuals underwent quantitative sudomotor axon reflex testing (QSART), heart rate response to deep breathing (HRDB), and Valsalva maneuver using standard protocols as part of the ARS. RESULTS Sweat volumes obtained during QSART are presented by site (forearm, proximal leg, distal leg and foot) and by gender. Data is expressed as the mean sweat volume per site with the associated 2.5th, 5th and 95th percentiles. Data for males and females is also stratified by age group (14-25, 26-40 and 41-76 years). Measurements of cardiovagal parasympathetic function including HRDB and Valsalva ratio are stratified by age group (14-25, 26- 40 and 41-76 years). Data is expressed as the mean with associated percentiles (2.5, 5, 95 and 97.5 percentiles). CONCLUSIONS The current manuscript provides control data for the various components of the ARS to aid in the diagnosis of autonomic disorders. La grille de dépistage des réflexes autonomes chez des sujets en bonne santé du sud-ouest de l'Ontario.
