Medical (general)
Good morning! I hope you can assist me quickly...
I have here a text of a patient with epilepsy. History:
Hypermotorische Anfälle: aus dem Schlaf heraus plötzliches Aufrichten des Oberkörpers mit geöffneten Augen, Tonisierung des linken Beines, dann beider Beine und schließlich rhythmische, myokloniforme Entäußerungen beider Beine
What is the exact meaning of Entäußerung?
Please answer only if you know for sure. I could easily guess myself.
Thank you!!

phenomenon
Summary
The videotape analysis showed in 26 patients (42% of the investigated patients) ictal motor phenomena which, in the routine clinical examination, could be easily misinterpreted as voluntary spontaneous movements or nervous tics.

There might be a more literal translation, but this seems to be commonly used in this context.

/ uncontrolled / reflex myoclonus
I'd avoid 'jerk' for US Am consumption. A relative of mine in the States long ago built up a 'soda jerk' bar business.
Example sentence:
Involuntary movements compose a group of uncontrolled movements that may ... (action myoclonus) or as a result of a stimulus (startle or reflex myoclonus).
Discussion
Epileptische Anfälle führen oft zu kognitiven, sensiblen, sensorischen oder motorischen Entäußerungen, die als „positive“ Phänomene angesehen werden. „Negative“ Phänomene, d.h. der passagere Ausfall z.B. motorischer Funktionen sind eher postiktal bekannt, wie bei der Todd'sche Parese.
