Myokymia and impaired muscular relaxation with continuous motor unit activity.
We have studied two cases of the syndrome of myokymia and impaired muscular relaxation with continuous motor unit activity. Both patients complained of muscle twitching, weakness, stiffness, and hyperhydrosis during their illness. Myokymia was present over the entire body in both. On repetitive testing of muscle strength each patient showed initial fatigue followed by increasing strength as he ...

متن کامل'Continuous muscle fibre activity' in six dogs with episodic myokymia, stiffness and collapse.
Continuous muscle fibre activity was observed in a crossbred dog, a Yorkshire terrier, a border collie and three Jack Russell terriers. The clinical signs consisted of episodes of generalised myokymia which developed into muscle stiffness and delayed muscle relaxation and generally led to the dogs collapsing into lateral recumbency. These episodes were preceded by intense facial rubbing in thre...
متن کاملMotor unit rate coding is severely impaired during forceful and fast muscular contractions in individuals post stroke.
Information regarding how motor units are controlled to produce forces in individuals with stroke and the mechanisms behind muscle weakness and movement slowness can potentially inform rehabilitation strategies. The purpose of this study was to describe the rate coding mechanism in individuals poststroke during both constant (n = 8) and rapid (n = 4) force production tasks. Isometric ankle dors...
متن کاملFurther motor unit studies in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Numbers of functioning motor units have been estimated in 124 muscles of boys with Duchenne dystrophy; some of the patients were studied on several occasions. In the distal muscles examined (extensor digitorum brevis, thenar, and hypothenar muscles) the losses of units were probably present at birth and did not decrease with age. In contrast, the numbers of units and of excitable muscle fibres ...
