Upturning of the big toe (and sometimes fanning of the other toes) in response to stimulation of the sole of the foot. If the Babinski sign is present it can indicate damage to the corticospinal tract.
Torticollis- MedGen UID:
- 11859
- •Concept ID:
- C0040485
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Torticollis is a twisted neck as a result of shortening of sternocleidomastoid muscle. This short and fibrotic muscle pulls the head laterally and rotates the chin and face to the opposite end. Facial asymmetry may be a manifestation (summary by Engin et al., 1997).
Tremor- MedGen UID:

- •Concept ID:
- C0151889
- •
- Finding
Hyperreflexia is the presence of hyperactive stretch reflexes of the muscles.
Writer cramp- MedGen UID:
- 57821
- •Concept ID:
- C0154676
- •

Inability to walk- MedGen UID:
- 107860
- •Concept ID:
- C0560046
- •
- Finding
Incapability to ambulate.
Cerebellar atrophy- MedGen UID:
- 196624
- •Concept ID:
- C0740279
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Cerebellar atrophy is defined as a cerebellum with initially normal structures, in a posterior fossa with normal size, which displays enlarged fissures (interfolial spaces) in comparison to the foliae secondary to loss of tissue. Cerebellar atrophy implies irreversible loss of tissue and result from an ongoing progressive disease until a final stage is reached or a single injury, e.g. an intoxication or infectious event.
Generalized dystonia- MedGen UID:
- 341342
- •Concept ID:
- C1848954
- •
- Finding
A type of dystonia that affects all or most of the body.
Motor delay- MedGen UID:
- 381392
- •Concept ID:
- C1854301
- •
- Finding
A type of Developmental delay characterized by a delay in acquiring motor skills.
Oromandibular dystonia- MedGen UID:
- 473560
- •Concept ID:
- C2242577
- •
- Sign or Symptom
A kind of focal dystonia characterized by forceful contractions of the face, jaw, and/or tongue causing difficulty in opening and closing the mouth and often affecting chewing and speech.
Kyphosis- MedGen UID:
- 44042
- •Concept ID:
- C0022821
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
Exaggerated anterior convexity of the thoracic vertebral column.
Hyperlordosis- MedGen UID:
- 9805
- •Concept ID:
- C0024003
- •
- Finding
Abnormally increased curvature (anterior concavity) of the lumbar or cervical spine.
Hypertonia- MedGen UID:
- 10132
- •Concept ID:
- C0026826
- •
- Finding
A condition in which there is increased muscle tone so that arms or legs, for example, are stiff and difficult to move.
Hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 10133
- •Concept ID:
- C0026827
- •
- Finding
Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist.
Scoliosis- MedGen UID:
- 11348
- •Concept ID:
- C0036439
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
The presence of an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine.
Multiple joint contractures- MedGen UID:
- 57633
- •Concept ID:
- C0158118
- •
- Acquired Abnormality
Facial palsy- MedGen UID:
- 87660
- •Concept ID:
- C0376175
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Facial nerve palsy is a dysfunction of cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve) that results in inability to control facial muscles on the affected side with weakness of the muscles of facial expression and eye closure. This can either be present in unilateral or bilateral form.
Generalized hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 346841
- •Concept ID:
- C1858120
- •
- Finding
