Fall attack

A fall attack, also known as a non-action attack, is manifested as a transient loss of muscle tone that cannot be maintained in a normal posture. The affected area is different, and the clinical symptoms are different. If only the cervical muscle tension is lost, it shows a sudden bow. Knee flexion can occur when calf muscle tension is lost. When standing, if the whole body muscle tension is lost, the child can suddenly fall, such as a "puppet with a broken thread". The disturbance of consciousness is transient or insignificant. Immediately sober after the attack, stand up immediately. Sometimes continuous attacks can occur, and the body can have multiple scars. Often accompanied by myoclonus and tonic seizures, children are prone to low intelligence.
