MI = membre inférieur/lower limb

My comment:

mm likely means "musculaire" (muscular/muscle) to qualify "spasme", so:
spasme mm bilat MI = lower-limb muscle spasme
perte conscience corporelle MI = loss of lower-limb body consciousness

[here] lm (limb muscle) / LL (lower limb)

My comment:

[ici] MI = membre inférieur => LL = lower limb (lower extremity) mm = muscle du membre => lm = limb muscle (muscle of the limb)
