Hand, foot and agitation

Athletosis is also called finger movement, or mobile spasm, which is characterized by increased and reduced movement of the muscles in the distal limbs, and a slow twist-like peristalsis such as earthworm crawling. Similar to dystonia, it is not a separate disease unit. It is a clinical syndrome with relatively slow, purposeless, continuous involuntary movement of fingers, toes, tongue, or other parts of the body.
