This article reviews the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of clonus. Causes of Clonus Clonus is a type of stretch reflex, meaning that when a muscle group is stretched or stimulated, neurons perceive that stretch and cause contraction of the same muscle group.

With its 25 electoral votes, Florida always figured to be a decisive state in the election–but not like this. The Sunshine State is a remarkable kaleidoscope of the rest of the country, with transplants from every region and a diversity of political views to match. Republicans hoped Gov. Jeb Bush would carry the state for his big brother; Joe Lieberman spent enough time with local retirees to qualify for a time share....

Jadeveon Clowney’s reps: 21. For all the talk about what he’ll do in the 40-yard dash, Clowney was quite underwhelming on the bench press. There were only 13 defensive linemen this year who had fewer reps than Clowney and 36 had as many or more. Compare Clowney’s numbers to Mario Williams’, who in the 2006 Combine had 35 reps. What does it mean? Who knows, other than it’s clear Clowney either lacks the strength or strength endurance to push past a below average performance in this one test....
The Cuomo Prime Time host said in a tweet: “So in these difficult times that seem to get more difficult and complicated by the day, I just found out that I am positive for coronavirus. I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive and I had fever, chills, and shortness of breath.” “I just hope I didn’t give it to the kids and Cristina....
During Sunday’s State of the Union show, Tapper highlighted Trump’s efforts in pushing companies to develop a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine in record time amid the pandemic. The CNN host also touted Trump’s promotion of Middle East peace deals and emphasis on U.S. military troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. But Tapper said Trump’s rethinking of trade deals and other accomplishments are far outweighed by his “clownish” efforts to undermine the 2020 election results and attacks on the press....
Fox’s 46-18 record and four consecutive first-place finishes weren’t good enough for the Broncos, but that kind of resume has plenty of appeal around the NFL, so it was no surprise the veteran coach found a soft landing.

MORE: Where does SEC land in our conference rankings? The Post-Dispatch reported Georgia director of basketball operations Kent Davison “was the UGA coach mostly involved, (as he) put his hands on MU player Trevor Glassman.” Missouri assistant coach Steve Shields helped pull Davison off Glassman, as the head coaches of both teams — Mizzou’s Kim Anderson and Georgia’s Mark Fox — tried to settle thing down. Davison and Shields were both assessed technical fouls for their roles in the melee....
The haunting tones and metal riffs come from Grammy-nominated band Code Orange, a Pittsburgh-based act that has performed around the world, and toured with acts like Slipknot. WWE fans may recognize the band when they performed Aleister Black’s theme, “Root of All Evil” at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III alongside Incendiary vocalist, Brendan Garrone. While the creepy, horror-filled entrance made headlines—it has almost three million views on YouTube—it’s the The Fiend’s new theme song that elevated the moment to one of the most memorable WWE debuts ever....
Before the match began, Cody along with his wife, Brandi, were walking down the ramp when they spotted a Triple H-like throne at the top of the stage, certainly looking like something the WWE legend and WWE COO used in his lavish entrances before. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year Brandi handed Cody a sledgehammer, which is Triple H’s signature weapon of choice. Cody walked up to the ramp and used the sledgehammer to smash the throne....
Hamels says he is a month behind schedule because biceps tendinitis forced him to stop throwing in December. He thinks he will be able to throw off a mound in 10 days. "Don't feel alarmed," Hamels said. "I feel healthy now. It's trying to get the strength and stamina to do that comfortably and not injure myself. I'm glad we were able to find it earlier. I will progress during spring training....
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color,” Kaepernick told NFL Media after the 49ers loss to the Packers. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder....

The NCAA title isn’t anyone’s to win this year, but anybody can get it. While pundits won’t stop running their mouths about parity, there are still some traditional favorites who are just plain better than the competition, no matter how much press the little-programs-that-could get. But none of the big dogs appear immune to possibly getting fatally bitten in a win-or-go-home contest. A team’s ability to pull off an upset versus its capability to win it all have to be viewed differently....

The Racers compete in the FCS division—the second tier of college football—and last made the playoffs in 2002, when they lost to Western Kentucky in the first round. The Bulldogs, by contrast, are the No.3-ranked team in college football’s top tier and lost the SEC Championship to Alabama last season, a year after falling to the Crimson Tide in the national title game. Georgia got its season off to a solid start with a 30-6 win on the road against Vanderbilt last week....
The Seminoles may be undefeated, but they continue to escape with narrow victories, and a lack of style points has caused them to slip in the new College Football Playoff rankings. They remain in the all-important top four, but they’ve been surpassed by TCU for the No. 3 spot. In Las Vegas, the Westgate SuperBook is offering FSU at a seemingly tantalizing price of 10-to-1, raised from 7-to-1 last week despite a 24-19 win over Florida....

Wisconsin opened as an 11.5-point home favorite against Minnesota at The Wynn on Sunday and has been bet up to -13 as of Monday afternoon. The Badgers have won each of the last 10 meetings with the Golden Gophers, but they have failed to cover the spread in three of the past four games between the teams, along with five of the previous seven. Johnny Avello, The Wynn’s executive director of race & sports operations, has been a fan of Minnesota all season and thinks it is still too early to tell where the line is going to end up....
