abstract:
The term myoclonus was derived from the longer term "paramyoklonus multiplex" that was first used in a case report by professor Nikolaus Friedreich in Heidelberg in 1881 with the intent to describe symmetric (para) an quick (clonus) movement of muscles (myo) occurring in multiple sites (multiplex) over the body.
