A member asked:
Can a patient in a coma move eye lids, twitch toes/feet, and flail arms as though in protest when repositioned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Those are involuntary actions and are caused by random brain stimuli. There is no coordinated action of the brain, though. More so when limbs of a decapitated frog move for a while in random fashion.
