A member asked:
At certain positions through part of the range of motion my thumb will twitch while slowly scrolling phone scree but not at rest, neurological or norm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Twitch: Muscles can twitch when kept in an awkward or unusual position even in the absence of neurological abnormalities. If you observe no other neuromuscular symptoms,I wouldn't worry about this.
