English term

restless legs syndrome

GBK English to Danish Medical Medical (general)
Definition from WebMD, Inc.:
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder of the part of the nervous system that affects movements of the legs. Because it usually interferes with sleep, it also is considered a sleep disorder. * People with RLS have strange sensations in their legs (and sometimes arms) and an irresistible urge to move their legs to relieve the sensations. * The sensations are difficult to describe: they are not painful, but an uncomfortable, "itchy," "pins and needles," or "creepy crawly" feeling deep in the legs. * The sensations are usually worse at rest, especially when lying in bed. * The sensations lead to walking discomfort, sleep deprivation, and stress.
Example sentences:
Symptomatic restless legs syndrome may occur secondary to iron deficiency, anemia, folate deficiency, uremia, thyroid problems, diabetes, or peripheral neuropathy. (WE MOVE )
Restless legs syndrome may be triggered by peripheral neuropathy or radiculopathy, but a distinction should be made between these disorders. In pure peripheral neuropathy and radiculopathy, patients do not have the compelling need to move to relieve leg discomfort and the symptoms are not consistently worse at rest or at night. (EMIS & PiP)
Restless legs syndrome can begin at any age and generally worsens as you get older. Women are more likely than men to develop this condition. Restless legs syndrome can disrupt sleep — leading to daytime drowsiness — and make travelling difficult. (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education )

Sygdommen hedder Restless Legs Syndrome. Navnet betyder, at man oplever et behov for at bevæge benene pga. ubehagsfornemmelse. (Restless Legs-portalen)
Hvad er Restless Legs Syndrome? Restless legs betyder uro i benene, og Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) er en fællesbetegnelse for en tilstand med ubehagelige følelser i benene sammen med en uimodståelig trang til at bevæge benene. (Medicinhåndbogen)

disagree Anne Holmelu (X) : "restless legs" eller "uro i benene" er den lægefaglige betegnelse, sprogligt mener jeg, at "rastløse ben" er forkert - ben kan ikke være rastløse - anglicisme

Hvilket er årsagen til, at jeg har oversat med "restless legs", som du kan se. Definitionen, hvor "rastløse ben" indgår, er ikke oversættelsen, men kun en definition, som er skrevet af en læge, og som jeg har kopieret her.
