Benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS) is characterized by fasciculation (twitching) of voluntary muscles in the body. [1] The twitching can occur in any voluntary muscle group but is most common in the eyelids, arms, hands, fingers, legs, and feet. The tongue can also be affected. The twitching may be occasional to continuous. [2]
A fasciculation, or muscle twitch, is a spontaneous, involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation, involving fine muscle fibers. [1] They are common, with as many as 70% of people experiencing them. [1] They can be benign, or associated with more serious conditions. [1]
NMT is a diverse disorder. As a result of muscular hyperactivity, patients may present with muscle cramps, stiffness, myotonia-like symptoms (slow relaxation), associated walking difficulties, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), myokymia (quivering of a muscle), fasciculations (muscle twitching), fatigue, exercise intolerance, myoclonic jerks and other related symptoms.
Women start losing muscle after 30—and this loss speeds up after menopause due to ... The best exercises for women over 60 are weight-bearing and promote strength, posture, and/or balance (and ...
Generally, repeated contraction of the muscle can alleviate the myotonia and relax the muscles thus improving the condition, however, this is not the case in paramyotonia congenita. This phenomenon is known as the "warm-up" reflex [8] and is not to be confused with warming up before exercise, though they may appear similar. Individuals with the ...

The gene involved in BD encodes the fast-twitch skeletal muscle ATPase, SERCA1. [7] SERCA1 is a protein pump that uses ATP to pump Ca 2+ ions from the cytosol to the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle. [7] In those with BD, SERCA1 pumps are unable to effectively move Ca 2+ across the membrane, leading to increased levels of cytoplasmic ...
