Not necessarily. There are focal & partial seizures and they effect only parts of the brain, start in single or small groups of muscles & can progress or not. Search Jacksonian seizure.

We have clinicians here. They can be more specific.

That would be a classic grand mal seizure.

She appears to be having petite mal or absence seizures. Which can be really dangerous if one is driving or walking up and down stairs.
