Answer:

Atonic Seizures (Drop Attacks)

Step-by-step explanation:

A seizure of this type involves a sudden decrease in muscle tone, causing a person's body to go limp, possibly causing injury. Atonic seizures result in a sudden loss of muscle strength while the seizure is occurring. Other symptoms may include: Going limp and falling to the ground, or remaining conscious. Atonic seizures characterize certain epilepsy syndromes like Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
