(Tıp) myotonia
A symptom of several muscular disorders characterized by the slow relaxation of the muscles after voluntary contraction or electrical stimulation
{i} uncontrollable muscle contractions, muscle spasm, inability to relax muscles (Medicine)
abnormally long muscular contractions; slow relaxation of a muscle after a contraction
Disorder causing difficulty relaxing contracted voluntary muscles. All or only a few may be affected. Myotonia seems to originate in the muscles (myopathy) rather than the nervous system. Certain toxins can cause it. A hereditary form, myotonia congenita (Thomsen disease), can affect eyelid and eye motion, swallowing, or talking. Quick movements cause muscle stiffening. There is also a myotonic form of muscular dystrophy. Analgesics, anesthetics, and anticonvulsant drugs can alleviate the symptoms
