Jitteriness can be distinguished from seizures by all of the following except -
Ans. is 'b' i.e., Frequency of Movement Jitteriness Jitteriness is stimulus sensitive (means, Jitteriness can be initiated by physical stimulation) Jitteriness can be abolished by passive restraint e.g. Flexion of the limb Not associated with autonomic changes or occular phenomena Jitteriness may have same frequency of movements as that of seizures but in jitteriness the rate of movements is identical in either direction Seizure Seizures are rarely stimulus sensitive Can not be abolished by passive restraint Epileptic seizures are often associated with autonomic changes and occular phenomena Clonic fits shows rapid alteration of fast and slow phase of movements
Senstivity to stimulus
Frequency of movement
Abnormality of Gaze
Autonomic disturbance
