These seizures originate at some point within, and rapidly engage, bilaterally distributed networks. They may involve musculature in any form. The motor event may consist of an increase (positive) or decrease (negative) in muscle contraction to produce a movement. |
Is a |
An epileptic seizure that involves musculature in any form. The motor event could consist of an increase (positive) or decrease (negative) in muscle contraction to produce a movement, regardless of whether focal, generalised, or unknown onset, and whether aware or impaired awareness. |

Sudden, brief (less than 100 milliseconds) involuntary single or multiple contraction(s) of bilateral muscles or muscle groups of variable topography (axial, proximal limb, distal). Myoclonus is less regularly repetitive and less sustained than is clonus. A seizure originating at some point within, and rapidly engaging, bilaterally distributed networks. |

One or a few jerks of limbs bilaterally, followed by a generalised tonic-clonic seizure. The initial jerks can be considered to be either a brief period of clonus or myoclonus. Seizures with this characteristic are common in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. A seizure originating at some point within, and rapidly engaging, bilaterally distributed networks. |

Epileptic spasms are a sudden flexion, extension, or mixed extension-flexion of predominantly proximal and truncal muscles that is usually more sustained than a myoclonic movement but not as sustained as a tonic seizure. Limited forms may occur: Grimacing, head nodding, or subtle eye movements. Epileptic spasms frequently occur in clusters. Generalized-onset epileptic spasms originate at some point within, and rapidly engage, bilaterally distributed networks. |
