malonic acid and Muscle Rigidity

malonic acid has been researched along with Muscle Rigidity in 1 studies

malonic acid : An alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid in which the two carboxy groups are separated by a single methylene group.
dicarboxylic acid : Any carboxylic acid containing two carboxy groups.

Muscle Rigidity: Continuous involuntary sustained muscle contraction which is often a manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES. When an affected muscle is passively stretched, the degree of resistance remains constant regardless of the rate at which the muscle is stretched. This feature helps to distinguish rigidity from MUSCLE SPASTICITY. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p73)
