| twitch | 1. The act of twitching; a pull with a jerk; a short, sudden, quick pull; as, a twitch by the sleeve. 2. A short, spastic contraction of the fibres or muscles; a simple muscular contraction; as, convulsive twitches; a twitch in the side. 3. <veterinary> A stick with a hole in one end through which passes a loop, which can be drawn tightly over the upper lip or an ear of a horse. By twisting the stick the compression is made sufficiently painful to keep the animal quiet during a slight surgical operation. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| twitch muscle | <physiology> Striated muscle innervated by a single motoneuron and having an electrically excitable membrane that exhibits an all or none response (c.f. Tonic muscle): in mammals almost all skeletal muscles are twitch muscles. Physiologists often divide muscles into fast and slow twitch types, the fast twitch muscles being associated with fast motor units. (18 Nov 1997) |
| myoclonic | Showing myoclonus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myoclonic astatic epilepsy | A petit mal variant characterised by atonic (drop attacks) and tonic or tonic-clonic attacks in neurologically disabled (hemiplegic, ataxic, etc.) children with mental retardation; characterised in EEG by 2/sec spike and wave discharges; usually progresses in spite of medication. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myoclonic seizure | Seizure associated with single or repetitive myoclonic jerks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilepsy, myoclonic | A progressive encephalopathy characterised by myoclonic jerks (single or repetitive muscle contractions involving one body part or the entire body), mental retardation, and ataxia. The disease, an autosomal recessive form of epilepsy, occurs usually at puberty. The most significant pathological findings are lafora's inclusion bodies, which contain mucopolysaccharides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epilepsy with myoclonic absences | A form of generalised epilepsy characterised by absence seizures, severe bilateral rhythmic clonic jerks often associated with tonic contraction, and an EEG 3 Hz spike and wave pattern. Age of onset is usually around seven years and males are more often affected. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juvenile myoclonic epilepsy | An epilepsy syndrome typically beginning in early adolescence, and characterised by early morning myoclonic jerks that may progress into a generalised tonic-clonic seizure. A genetic disorder: some families have had gene linkage to chromosome-6. The EEG is characterised by generalised polyspike and wave discharges at 4-6 Hz. (05 Mar 2000) |
