Affection familiale et héréditaire (décrite en 1876 par Thomsen sur lui-même, ses ascendants et ses descendants), débutant dans l'enfance ou l'adolescence, faisant partie du groupe des myopathies, et dont l'expression clinique réside dans un trouble particulier de la décontraction des muscles volontaires. Au début du mouvement, le muscle se met en état de raideur spasmodique, état qui s'oppose au relâchement, mais cède bientôt et disparaît quand le même mouvement se reproduit. 1, record 2, French, - maladie%20de%20Thomsen
