I am having some trouble differentiating the patterns of relaxtion and contraction in the following problems. If anyone has an ideas that would be great. What I understand so far:
-Tonic Seizure-Muscle contraction across entire body. Without relaxation until end of seizure.
-Dystonia-Muscle contraction across portion of body. Without relaxation until end of incident.
-Clonic seizure or clonus-Pattern of contraction and relaxtion across entire body.
-Myotoic seizure or myoclonus-Pattern of contraction and relaxtion across a muscle group.
-Tonic Clonic Seizure-Phase with generalized contraction only followed by phase with contractions and relaxations.
-Tonic Seizure-Muscle contraction across entire body. Without relaxation until end of seizure.
-Dystonia-Muscle contraction across portion of body. Without relaxation until end of incident.
-Clonic seizure or clonus-Pattern of contraction and relaxtion across entire body.
-Myotoic seizure or myoclonus-Pattern of contraction and relaxtion across a muscle group.
-Tonic Clonic Seizure-Phase with generalized contraction only followed by phase with contractions and relaxations.
