DTR normal, symmetric
RT = riflessi tendinei (aka riflessi tendinei profondi)
DTR = deep tendon reflexes
I would expect a statement like "normal" rather than "mid" or "average activity" in an English report of findings (to be confirmed by native speakers).
"By convention the deep tendon reflexes are graded as follows:
0 = no response; always abnormal
1+ = a slight but definitely present response; may or may not be normal
2+ = a brisk response; normal
3+ = a very brisk response; may or may not be normal
4+ = a tap elicits a repeating reflex (clonus); always abnormal"
