Descriptor Spanish: Miocimia
Descriptor miocimia
Entry term(s) mioquimia
Scope note: Contracciones rápidas y sucesivas de las unidades motoras asociadas con una lesión nerviosa crónica. Las descargas se originan de los aspectos periféricos de los nervios que se están regenerando, y clínicamente imparten una ondulación casi contínua de la superficie del cuerpo que cubre el músculo. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1491)

Scope note: Successive and rapid contractions of motor units associated with chronic nerve injury. The discharges arise from the peripheral aspects of regenerating nerves, and clinically impart a nearly continuous undulation of the body surface overlying the muscle. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1491)
