Summary

Myoclonus is a hyperkinetic movement disorder defined as a sudden, brief, involuntary jerk of a muscle or a muscle group. Myoclonus can be caused by muscle contraction (positive myoclonus) or by loss of muscle contraction (negative myoclonus). The prevalence of myoclonus is largely unknown. Symptoms are not always severe enough to attract medical attention and signs of myoclonus can be hard to recognize.
