MYOTONIC
Myotonic dystrophy: A genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness, as well as myotonia, a condition where muscles are slow to relax after contraction.
Myotonic reflex: A physiological response observed in myotonic conditions, where muscles exhibit prolonged contraction or delayed relaxation after a stimulus.
Myotonic goats: A breed of goats that exhibit myotonia congenita, causing their muscles to stiffen for a brief period when startled or excited.
Myotonic dystrophy type 1: The most common form of myotonic dystrophy, a genetic disorder that affects multiple systems, including muscles, heart, and central nervous system.
Myotonic seizures: Episodes of muscle stiffness or spasms observed in individuals with myotonic disorders, often triggered by specific stimuli or activities.
Myotonic response: The characteristic delayed relaxation or sustained contraction of muscles seen in myotonic conditions or disorders.
Myotonic congenita: A condition present at birth where affected individuals experience muscle stiffness or myotonia, often observed in certain breeds of animals, including goats.
Myotonic twitch: A sudden, involuntary contraction or spasm of muscles characterized by brief stiffness or tension, commonly seen in myotonic conditions.
Myotonic phenomenon: A general term referring to the characteristic muscle stiffness, delayed relaxation, or sustained contraction observed in various myotonic disorders or conditions.
Myotonic symptoms: The clinical manifestations associated with myotonic disorders, including muscle stiffness, weakness, delayed muscle relaxation, and other neurological or systemic abnormalities.
