The following types of hyperkinesis are distinguished:
– Kana – characterized by slow worm-like movements, especially in the limbs (hands), which are performed with great tension;
– torsional spasm – resembles a cana, It mainly affects the muscles of the neck and trunk (excessive turns, and curvature of the trunk), It increases while walking;
– chorionic hyperkinesis – chaotic tingling in different parts of the body;
– Myoclonus – quick and short jerks of individual muscle groups.
– tremor – involuntary rhythmic vibrations of the limbs, head, fingers and entire body. tremor can vary in rhythm (slow, fast), Parkinson’s amplitude (large, small), and location; – tics – rapid vibration of certain muscle groups, Typically repetitive, Especially common in the face, Looks like a grimac.
