Arm tic
Arm tics is a symptom in which a person has twitching or jerking movements in one or both arms. The movements are a type of repetitive habit, and can be stopped momentarily with enough personal willpower, but will resume again later. However, tics can come and go, and/or switch over to other parts of the body.
