Cheirospasm

/ˈkaɪrəˌspæzəm/ noun

Definition

A sudden involuntary muscle spasm or cramping of the hand, often caused by repetitive stress or neurological conditions.

Etymology

From Greek χείρ (cheír) 'hand' and σπασμός (spásmós) 'spasm' or 'convulsion,' literally meaning 'hand spasm.'

Kelly Says

Writer's cramp is a famous type of cheirospasm—your hand muscles involuntarily contract after repetitive writing, and doctors still don't fully understand why the body sometimes rebels against movements it knows well.
