Myasthenia gravis was a medical condition that caused chronic weakness of the muscles, with occasional bouts of weakness so extreme that the sufferer could not move.
It was one of a number of handicaps that randomly afflicted Grey Orions, due to their genetic mutilation. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Deep Knowledge)
