Question muscle spasms.. post mortem?

This might bequite off topic, but do any of you know what the term [or if there one?] for post mortem muscle spasms would be?
Hm....
Googled a whole bunch of different word combinations and different "quoted" things but to no avail! This is bothering me now, heh.

Post Mortem spasms

I have been to hundreds of post mortems and never witnessed a
'spasm' or 'twitch'. Rigor mortis will set in soon after death and will
'relax' after several hours depending mostly on time/temperature. Maybe at this point, of rigor or relaxation, people witness a movement in the body's extremities.

I do see some post mortem 'twitching' after i kill a rat, i guess it depends on what part of the brain hits the ground...
