I know what that is...

what is clonus? The spelling may not be right

I looked it up in the dictionary and it says no such word and it keeps saying did you mean "clovis". But even that description didn't make sense.

The word clovus is not recognized by Webster.

Involuntary muscle movement that is associated with some medical conditions

Clonus (from the Greek for "violent, confused motion") is a series of involuntary muscular contractions due to sudden stretching of the muscle. Clonus is a sign of certain neurological conditions, and is particularly associated with upper motor neuron lesions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord damage and hepatic encephalopathy. Unlike the small, spontaneous twitching known as fasciculations (usually caused by lower motor neuron pathology), clonus causes large motions that are usually initiated by a reflex.

Clonus is most common in the ankles, where it is tested by rapidly flexing the foot upward (dorsiflexion). It can also be tested in the knees by rapidly pushing the patella towards the toes. Only sustained clonus (5 beats or more) is considered abnormal.

Clonus appearing after ingesting potent serotonergic drugs strongly predicts imminent serotonin toxicity.

yes it's clonus, clovis is a town here

Nice to know im learning something in nursing school!
