Chirospasm

Definition

A spasm or involuntary contraction of the muscles of the hand; an abnormal, uncontrolled movement of the hand.

Etymology

From Greek 'cheir' (hand) and 'spasmos' (spasm, from 'span' meaning to draw or pull). A medical term describing a specific neurological or muscular disorder affecting hand control.

Kelly Says

Chirospasm is related to the pianist's nightmare of 'writer's cramp'—repetitive strain injuries that cause hands to involuntarily clench, highlighting how the brain's control over hand muscles is surprisingly fragile despite how dexterous humans normally are.
