How to spot it
Because the twitch can be camera-exclusive, don't rule this one out just because the patient looks still in person — if something about the posture (stretched neck, hunch) feels off, check CCTV before you commit to treating them.
👁️ Twitching
Spasming arms or head, a stretched neck, and a hunched back. Sometimes the twitching is only visible when you check the camera feed rather than looking at the patient directly.
