They are technically the same although a sustained contraction means that you may or may not have a disease that causes all of of your bones to spontaneously break producing a soft ocean sound from all of your phalanges. If this happens you may or may not die. If you suddenly start twitching, you may be in danger of getting a disorder from the xenonic acids in the marrow.
