Definition of clonus. Clonus is a rhythmic sustained involuntary muscular contractions (generally 5-8 Hz) evoked by sudden passive stretch of the muscle and tendon. Unsustained clonus (â¤5 beats): may be physiological. Sustained clonus (>5 beats): regarded as abnormal.
When reflexes are very brisk, clonus is sometimes seen. This is a repetitive vibratory contraction of the muscle that occurs in response to muscle and tendon stretch. Deep tendon reflexes are often rated according to the following scale: 0: absent reflex. 1+: trace, or seen only with reinforcement. 2+: normal. 3+: brisk.
