rigor mortis (rĭ`gər môr`tĭs), rigidity of the body that occurs after death.

Rigor mortis affects the facial musculature first and then spreads to other parts of the body. It is caused by chemical changes in the muscle tissue. The state of rigor usually lasts about 24 hours or until muscle decomposition takes place by acid formation.
