Friedreich|ˈfriːdraɪk, -aɪç|
The name of Nikolaus Friedreich (1825–82), German neurologist, used attrib. and in the possessive to designate: a. Hereditary locomotor ataxia, an inherited disease of the central nervous system marked by an unsteady gait and an inability to co-ordinate voluntary movements; also its accompanying deformity, Friedreich('s) foot.
1883Brit. Med. Jrnl. 31 Mar. 627/2 The term ‘hereditary ataxy’ is, therefore, a misnomer. ‘Family ataxy’, although more correct, does not sound well; and, under these circumstances, we may provisionally accept Browne's [? an error for Brousse's] proposal to call the malady in question ‘Friedreich's disease’. 1890Brain XIII. 503 Tabes is an affection of adult age; Friedreich's ataxy a disease of childhood. 1940S. A. K. Wilson Neurology II. xlix. 950 Time of appearance is variable for the ‘Freidreich [sic] foot’ may have been present from the outset. 1964S. Duke-Elder Parsons' Dis. Eye (ed. 14) xxxiv. 545 In Hereditary Ataxia (Friedreich's Disease) optic atrophy and paralyses of the ocular muscles are very rare. 1970Sunday Times 13 Dec. 34/6 (Advt.), Friedreich's ataxia is a crippling disease of the Nervous System which starts in childhood or adolescence.
b. Paramyoclonus multiplex, a rare disease characterized by involuntary twitching of the muscles, esp. of the limbs.
1889Brain XI. 417 Friedreich's paramyoclonus, a fibrillar twitching insufficient to move the limb. 1903Jrnl. Nerv. & Mental Dis. XXX. 365 In his opinion, the distinguishing feature of myoclonus of the Friedreich type was the occurrence of contractions of individual muscles not under the control of the will. 1967Brain XC. 673 Similar families have been reported previously, often under the title of Friedreich's paramyoclonus multiplex. |
