In a series of 14 patients the condition was bilateral in 12.(2) In this case, the condition was unilateral and probably due to radiculopathy. For another example [http://www.neurology.org/content/75/2/e6/suppl/DC1 see Mhoon].(3)

Pain occurs first in most cases and is more distressing to patients than the movements. The toe movements decrease but persist in sleep. Variants are painful arms and moving fingers, and painless legs and moving toes. Jumpy stump is involuntary movements of an amputated limb. Neurophysiologic findings suggest a central generator at the spinal cord or brainstem level.(1)
