Explanation:
From links below:
"Her reflexes in her arms and legs are very jumpy. This is termed hyperreflexia (hi-per-re-flex-e-ah)."
"my doctor said my reflexes are jumpy in arms and legs"
Also found this:
"What are the symptoms of cervical stenosis with myelopathy?
Some people with cervical stenosis are asymptomatic, meaning they suffer no adverse affects. When myelopathy, or spinal cord compression, creates problems, the symptoms and physical findings may include hand clumsiness, clumsiness of gait, numbness in the hands, jumpy reflexes, a heavy feeling in the legs and difficulty walking, weakness, and, rarely, paralysis."
From:

"Brisk" also appears to be a correct term for this context, although personally I prefer "jumpy," which is a good translation of "sprittig" in general.
