proprioceptive
256
poor __________ processing is characterized by low muscle tone, postural-ocular deficits, poor balance/equilibrium reactions, impaired bilateral coordination, low endurance, and deficient motor planning

258
seizures that involve widespread involvement of both sides of the brain
primary generalized
259
seizures that involve a small local area and can quickly spread (secondary generalized)
partial seizures
260
type of primary seizure common in children that begins with a brief warning and includes a tonic phase, clonic phase, and postical state
tonic-clonic/grand mal
261
type of primary seizure that is difficult to control that involves involuntary jerking and loss of tone
myoclonic-akinetic seizure
262
type of partial seizure that involves an abnormal impulse loop typically in the motor cortex of the frontal lobe and involves involuntary repetetive jerking of the hand/arm; can become generalized and lead to LOC
simple seizure
263
type of partial seizure where symptoms vary and include an alteration in consciousness and responsiveness; person may appear confused, dazed, smack their lips, chew, and have visual/auditory sensations prior to the seizure
complex/psychomotor seizure
264
seizure that includes dropping of the head and flexion of the arms; can occur up to 100 times a day; poor prognosis and may eventually be replaced by other seizures
infantile spasms/West syndrome/jackknife epilepsy
265
seizures that occur in children that are severe and related to intellectual disability; seizures vary throughout life and are hard to control; may lead to brain disorders and regression

most common type of seizure in children that last for 10 minutes with LOC, generalized jerking, grand mal seizure, and no damage
simple ferbile seizure
268
prolonged seizure or seizures in rapid progression that can be triggered when medication is stopped abruptly and can be life threatening; typically occurs with tonic-clonic seizures that are not well controlled
