A member asked:
Myoclonus effects muscles? could this mean the muscles are weak? and need to be worked out/overworked? i am trying to understand relation to muscle.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not muscle : Myoclonus is a neurological sign that is due to elevated reflexes. Elevated reflexes, particularly if just on one side, can represent a spinal cord or brain issue. It is a nerve issue, not a muscle disease. So you can't fix it by doing something to your muscles.
