Atonic Seizure
Also known as drop attacks or akinetic seizures, atonic seizures may cause a sudden loss of muscle strength. As results, muscles in the whole body or specific parts, such as the trunk, neck, and head, would become limp. You would collapse or fall if being in a standing position because all muscles become relaxed suddenly. However, you may be able to get up immediately after this fall. As a result, the risk on injuries in this type is quite high. Protective gear might be needed to protect your head. There would be a short loss of awareness during an atonic seizure. [5]
