Cerea flexibilitas
Cerea flexibilitas, meaning "waxy flexibility," is characterised by a patient's movements having the feeling of a plastic resistance, as if the person were made of wax. This occurs in catatonic schizophrenia, and a person suffering from this condition can have his limbs placed in fixed positions as if the person were in fact made from wax.
